Lamentations 4:10-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁰ The hands of compassionate women boiled their children.
    Their children became their food when the daughter of my people was broken.
¹¹ The Lord carried out his wrath. He poured out his burning anger.
    He kindled a fire in Zion, and it consumed her foundations.
¹² The kings of the earth and the world’s inhabitants never believed
    that foe and enemy would enter the gates of Jerusalem.
