Lamentations 4:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ The Lord turned loose all of his anger.
    He poured out his strong anger.
He set fire to Jerusalem.
    It burned down to the foundations.

¹² Kings of the earth and people of the world
    could not believe it.
They could not believe that enemies
    could come through the gates of Jerusalem.

¹³ But it happened because her prophets had sinned.
    And her priests had done evil.
They killed in the city
    the people who did what was right.
