Lamentations 4:12-14

International Children’s Bible

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.

¹⁴ They wandered in the streets
    like blind men.
They became dirty with blood.
    So no one could touch their clothes.
