Lamentations 4:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem:
13 For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of [a]her.
14 They have wandered as blind men[b]in the streets, and they were polluted with blood, so that[c]they would not touch their garments.
