62. He delivered his people over to the sword,and was angry with his chosen nation.
63. Fire consumed their young men,and their virgins remained unmarried.
64. Their priests fell by the sword,but their widows did not weep.
65. But then the Lord awoke from his sleep;he was like a warrior in a drunken rage.
66. He drove his enemies back;he made them a permanent target for insults.
67. He rejected the tent of Joseph;he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
68. He chose the tribe of Judah,and Mount Zion, which he loves.
