Lamentations 4:12-14

Modern English Version

¹² The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world,
    would not have believed
that the adversary and the enemy could enter
    the gates of Jerusalem.

¹³ This was for the sins of her prophets
    and the iniquities of her priests,
who poured out in her midst the blood of the righteous.

¹⁴ They wandered,
    blind, in the streets;
they have defiled themselves with blood,
    so that no one could touch their garments.
