Lamentations 4:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ Caph. The Lord hath accomplished his wrath, he hath poured out his fierce anger: and he hath kindled a fire in Sion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.

¹² Lamed. The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world would not have believed, that the adversary and the enemy should enter in by the gates of Jerusalem.

¹³ Mem. For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her.
