3
For those ancient inhabitants of thy holy land, whom thou didst abhor,
4
Because they did works hateful to thee by their sorceries, and wicked sacrifices,
5
And those merciless murderers of their own children, and eaters of men's bowels, and devourers of blood from the midst of thy consecration,
6
And those parents sacrificing with their own hands helpless souls, it was thy will to destroy by the hands of our parents,
7
That the land which of all is most dear to thee might receive a worthy colony of the children of God.
