Lamentations 4:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹ The Lord turned loose all of his anger;
    he poured out his strong anger.
He set fire to Jerusalem,
    burning it down to the foundations.

¹² Kings of the earth and people of the world
    could not believe
that enemies and foes
    could enter the gates of Jerusalem.

¹³ It happened because her prophets sinned
    and her priests did evil.
They killed in the city
    those who did what was right.
