2 They have given the bodies of your servantsto the birds of the heavens for food,the flesh of your faithful to the beasts of the earth.
3 They have poured out their blood like waterall around Jerusalem,and there was no one to bury them.
4 We have become a taunt to our neighbors, mocked and derided by those around us.
5 How long, O Lord? Will you be angry forever?Will your jealousy burn like fire?
6 Pour out your anger on the nationsthat do not know you,and on the kingdomsthat do not call upon your name!
7 For they have devoured Jacoband laid waste his habitation.
8 Do not remember against us our former iniquities;let your compassion come speedily to meet us,for we are brought very low.
