To utterly destroy the wicked and also to cast fatal curses.
I have seen the new man . He is intrepid and cruel . I was afraid of him
-- Adolf Hitler
All the supposed abominations, the skeletons and death’s heads,
the coffins and the mysteries, are mere bogeys for children. But there is one dangerous element and that is the element I have copied from them. They form a sort of priestly nobility.
-- Adolf Hitler
PSALM 1979
The Destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple
A psalm of Asaph.
1 O God, the nations have invaded your heritage;
they have defiled your holy temple,
have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
2 They have left the corpses of your servants
as food for the birds of the heavens,
the flesh of your faithful for the beasts of the earth.
