Lamentations 4:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ Jod. The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.

¹¹ Caph. The Lord hath accomplished his wrath, he hath poured out his fierce anger: and he hath kindled a fire in Sion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.

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