Lamentations 4:10-12

Lexham English Bible

¹⁰ The hands of compassionate women,
    have cooked their children;
they became as something to eat
    in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
¹¹ Yahweh has completed his anger,
    he has poured out his fierce anger;^[a]
he has kindled a fire in Zion,
    it consumed her^[b] foundations.
¹² The kings of the earth did not believe,
    and all the inhabitants of the world,
that a foe and an enemy could enter
    into the gates of Jerusalem.
