Lamentations 4:12-14

Revised Standard Version

¹² The kings of the earth did not believe,
    or any of the inhabitants of the world,
that foe or enemy could enter
    the gates of Jerusalem.

¹³ This was for the sins of her prophets
    and the iniquities of her priests,
who shed in the midst of her
    the blood of the righteous.

¹⁴ They wandered, blind, through the streets,
    so defiled with blood
that none could touch
    their garments.
