"Pour out their blood like water, as it is said (Psalms 79:3), 'They have poured out their blood like water on the land.' Let the flesh of your pious ones be food for the beasts of the earth, to make known that even their bones would not be left unburied. If a person owes his friend a hundred coins and he says to him, 'Give me my money,' and he responds, 'I don't have it,' he has done all he can since he has no means to pay.
But the Holy One, blessed be He, does not act in this way. He takes the soul even if it means taking it from the flesh. As it is written (Isaiah 10:18), 'From soul to flesh He will destroy.' The soul and flesh cannot be taken from the bones.
As it is written (Jeremiah 8:1), 'At that time, says the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah.' Not only that, but they shame us, as it is said (Psalms 79:4), 'We have become a taunt to our neighbors.' And not only that, but they deny their guilt, as it is written (Jeremiah 50:7), 'They say, "We are not guilty."' And it is written (Zechariah 11:5), 'And their buyers say, "Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich."'."
