7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain, then go forth: and they went out and slew them in the city.
8 Now when they had slain them, and I had escaped, I fell down upon my face, and cried, saying, [c]Ah Lord God, wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel, in pouring out thy wrath upon Jerusalem?
