Lamentations 4:11-13

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹¹ The Lord carried out his wrath. He poured out his burning anger.
    He kindled a fire in Zion, and it consumed her foundations.
¹² The kings of the earth and the world’s inhabitants never believed
    that foe and enemy would enter the gates of Jerusalem.
¹³ The reason this happened was the sin of her prophets and the guilt of her priests,
    who shed the blood of the righteous in her midst.
