Pour out your anger on the nations that do not know you, and on [the] kingdoms that do not call on your name,


O God, [the] nations have entered your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple; they have reduced Jerusalem to ruins. They have given the bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the heavens, the flesh of your faithful to [the] beasts of [the] earth. They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was none to bury [them]. read more.
We have become a taunt to our neighbors, a derision and a scorn to those around us. How long, O Yahweh? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire? Pour out your anger on the nations that do not know you, and on [the] kingdoms that do not call on your name, because they have devoured Jacob and have laid waste his habitation.

because there [has been] to you {an ancient hostility}, and you handed over the {Israelites} to [the] power of [the] sword at the time of their disaster, at the time of {their final punishment}. Therefore {as I live}," {declares} the Lord Yahweh, "Certainly to blood [guilt] I will prepare you and blood will pursue; {since} {you did not hate blood}, it will pursue you.
