Lamentations 4:10-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 The hands of compassionate women
have boiled their own children;
they became their food
in the destruction of my people.(A)
11 The Lord gave full vent to his wrath;
he poured out his hot anger
and kindled a fire in Zion
that consumed its foundations.(B)
12 The kings of the earth did not believe,
nor did any of the inhabitants of the world,
that foe or enemy could enter
the gates of Jerusalem.(C)
