They have pierced my hands and feet. read more. I can count all my bones. People stare and gloat over me. They divide my clothes among themselves. They cast lots (throw dice) for my clothing.

I will praise you within the congregation. All who reverence Jehovah, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob honor him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel. Jehovah has not despised or been disgusted with the plight of the oppressed one. He has not hidden his face from that person. Jehovah heard when that oppressed person cried out to him for help. My praise comes from you while I am among those assembled for worship. I will fulfill my vows in the presence of those who respect Jehovah. Humble (meek) people will eat until they are full. Those who look to Jehovah will praise him. May your heart live forever. All the ends of the earth will remember and return to Jehovah. All the families from all the nations will worship you. This is because the kingdom belongs to Jehovah and he rules the nations.

Look, O Jehovah! Why are you punishing us like this? Women are eating the bodies of the children they loved! Priests and prophets are killed in the Temple!

He answered: This is the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel. Then Jehovah of Hosts said: 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit.'
