Lamentations 4:12-14

Lexham English Bible

¹² The kings of the earth did not believe,
    and all the inhabitants of the world,
that a foe and an enemy could enter
    into the gates of Jerusalem.
¹³ Because of the sins of her prophets,
    the guilt of her priests,
who shed blood in her midst,
    of righteous people.
¹⁴ They wander blindly in the streets;
    they were defiled with the blood,
their clothes
    could not be touched.
