“Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.”
The prayer for judgment on enemies: 'Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the peoples who do not call on your name. For they have devoured Jacob; they have consumed him completely and destroyed his homeland.' This verse calls for God's judgment on foreign nations ('nations that do not acknowledge you...peoples who do not call on your name') who have attacked Israel ('devoured Jacob...consumed him completely'). Theologically, this verse indicates that though Judah deserves judgment, her enemies also deserve judgment from God.
