Lamentations 4:10-12

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰ The hands of compassionate women
have cooked their own children;^(A)
they became their food
during the destruction of my dear people.^(B)

¹¹ The Lord has exhausted His wrath,
poured out His burning anger;
He has ignited a fire in Zion,
and it has consumed her foundations.^(C)

¹² The kings of the earth
and all the world’s inhabitants did not believe
that an enemy or adversary
could enter Jerusalem’s gates.^(D)
