Lamentations 4:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ With their own hands kind women
    cooked their own children.
The children became food for their parents.
    This happened when my people were destroyed.

¹¹ The Lord turned loose all of his anger.
    He poured out his strong anger.
He set fire to Jerusalem.
    It burned down to the foundations.

¹² Kings of the earth and people of the world
    could not believe it.
They could not believe that enemies
    could come through the gates of Jerusalem.
