4  They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their ^ccarcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

  2  Yea, wo be unto this generation! And the Lord said unto me: Stretch forth thy hand and prophesy, saying: Thus saith the Lord, it shall come to pass that this generation, because of their iniquities, shall be brought into bondage, and shall be smitten on the cheek; yea, and shall be driven by men, and shall be slain; and the vultures of the air, and the dogs, yea, and the wild beasts, shall devour their ^cflesh.

  27  And now I show unto you a parable. Behold, wheresoever the ^acarcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together; so likewise shall mine elect be gathered from the four quarters of the earth.
