Lamentations 4:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ With their own hands, loving mothers
    have had to cook even their own children.
They ate their children
    when my people were destroyed.

¹¹ The Lord has become very angry.
    He has poured out his burning anger.
He started a fire in Zion.
    It burned its foundations.

¹² The kings of the earth couldn’t believe what was happening.
    Neither could any of the peoples of the world.
Enemies actually attacked and entered
    the gates of Jerusalem.
