Lamentations 4:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² The earth’s rulers didn’t believe it—neither did any who inhabit the world—
that either enemy or adversary could enter Jerusalem’s gates.

¹³ It was because of her prophets’ sins, her priests’ iniquities,
those who shed righteous blood in the middle of the city.

¹⁴ People wandered blindly in the streets, polluted with blood.
No one would even touch their clothing.
