- O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.
- They have given the dead bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth.
- They have poured out blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.
- We are objects of reproach to our neighbors, of scorn and derision to those around us.
- How long, O LORD ? Will you be angry forever? How long will your jealousy burn like fire?

- O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
- The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
- Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
- We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
- How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
