Lamentations 4:11-13

Common English Bible

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.

¹³ It was because of her prophets’ sins, her priests’ iniquities,
those who shed righteous blood in the middle of the city.
