Lamentations 4:10-14 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

10. The hands of the compassionate women Have boiled their own children; They became food for them In the destruction of the daughter of my people.

11. יהוה has completed His wrath, He has poured out His burning displeasure. And He kindled a fire in Tsiyon, And it consumed her foundations.

12. The sovereigns of the earth did not believe, Nor any of the inhabitants of the world, That an adversary and enemy Would enter the gates of Yerushalayim.

13. It was because of the sins of her prophets, The crookednesses of her priests, Who shed in her midst the blood of the righteous.

14. They staggered, blind, in the streets; They have defiled themselves with blood, So that no one was able to touch their garments.
