Psalms79:2

2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of heaven , the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

Either 1. Of thy faithful and holy servants, whom they used as cruelly as the worst of the people. Or 2. Of the Jews, whom, though the generality of them were very wicked, he calleth God's Servants and Saints, because they were all such by profession; and some of them were really such; and the Chaldaeans did never know nor regard those that were so, but promiscuously destroyed all that came in their way.

By casting them out like dung upon the face of the earth, and not suffering any to bury them.
