They devoured on the right, but were still hungry, they ate on the left, but were not satisfied. People even ate the flesh of their own arm!

It will be like a hungry man dreaming that he is eating, only to awaken and find that his stomach is empty. It will be like a thirsty man dreaming that he is drinking, only to awaken and find that he is still weak and his thirst unquenched. So it will be for the horde from all the nations that fight against Mount Zion.

The sovereign Lord says this, the one who gathers the dispersed of Israel: "I will still gather them up."

In light of all this, how can you still hold back, Lord? How can you be silent and continue to humiliate us?

Before they even call out, I will respond; while they are still speaking, I will hear.
