Lamentations 4:11-13

Modern English Version

¹¹ The Lord has fulfilled His fury,
    He has poured out His fierce anger.
He kindled a fire in Zion,
    and it has devoured its foundations.

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

¹³ This was for the sins of her prophets
    and the iniquities of her priests,
who poured out in her midst the blood of the righteous.
