Lamentations 4:10-12

Common English Bible

¹⁰ The hands of loving women boiled their own children
    to become their food during the destruction of the daughter of my people.

¹¹ The Lord let loose his fury; he poured out his fierce anger.
He started a fire in Zion; it licked up its foundations.

¹² The earth’s rulers didn’t believe it—neither did any who inhabit the world—
that either enemy or adversary could enter Jerusalem’s gates.
