Psalm 79:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 The [a]dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto fowls of the heaven, and the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
3 Their blood have they shed like waters, round about Jerusalem, and there was none to [b]bury them.
4 We are a reproach to our [c]neighbors, even a scorn and derision unto them that are round about us.
