They have poured out blood like water

all around Jerusalem,

and there is no one to bury the dead.

and there was no one to bury them.

NLTNew Living Translation

O God, pagan nations have conquered your land,

your special possession.

They have defiled your holy Temple

and made Jerusalem a heap of ruins.

The flesh of your godly ones

has become food for the wild animals.

Blood has flowed like water all around Jerusalem;

no one is left to bury the dead.

They have poured out their blood like water

all around Jerusalem,

and there was none to bury them.

Thy holy temple have they defiled;

They have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

To be meat unto the fowls of the heaven,

The flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

Their blood have they shed like water

Round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
