In context
1 God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth.
3 They have shed their blood like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
5 How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
