Psalm 79:2-4
Contemporary English Version
2 They have fed the bodies
of your servants
to flesh-eating birds;
your loyal people are food
for savage animals.
3 All Jerusalem is covered
with their blood,
and there is no one left
to bury them.
4 Every nation around us
sneers and makes fun.

all around Jerusalem,
and there is no one to bury(C) the dead.(D)
4 We are objects of contempt to our neighbors,
