60 Il abandonna la demeure de Silo, La tente où il habitait parmi les hommes;
61 Il livra sa gloire à la captivité, Et sa majesté entre les mains de l'ennemi.
62 Il mit son peuple à la merci du glaive, Et il s'indigna contre son héritage.
63 Le feu dévora ses jeunes hommes, Et ses vierges ne furent pas célébrées;
64 Ses sacrificateurs tombèrent par l'épée, Et ses veuves ne pleurèrent pas.
