Jephtha, Pt. 1 - No. 10, Hence, Shameless Men! Compassion Would Be Guilt

"Jephtha

Hence, shameless Men! Compassion would be

Guilt.

Second Elder

Resent not now, but pity Gilead’s Crimes,

That call the vengeful Hand of Heav’n

t’unsheathe

The bloody Sword, and fill her Fields with

Sorrow.

Drive but these Sons of Ammon from our Land,

Be Judge of Israel.

All Elders

Be Judge of Israel."
