Lamentations 4:11-13

Contemporary English Version

¹¹ The Lord was so fiercely angry
that he burned the city of Zion
    to the ground.
¹² Not a king on this earth
    or the people of any nation
believed enemies could break
    through her gates.

¹³ Jerusalem was punished because
    her prophets and her priests
had sinned and caused the death
    of innocent victims.
