Description: In the foreground, a mother weeps as a man informs her of her child's behavior. In the near background, Absalom hangs from a tree by his hair opposite a man hanging from a gallows. In the background, a man is stoned and Elisha walks away from two bears mauling a group of children.

The swift ravens ravage their own hollowed eyes".
