Lamentations 4:10-12
International Standard Version
10 With their own hands, compassionate women
boil their own children—
they become their food—
when my beloved people were[a] destroyed.
11 The Lord has exhausted his wrath,
pouring out his fierce anger.
He kindled a fire in Zion,
consuming its foundations.
12 None of the kings of the earth would have believed,
nor the world’s inhabitants,
that the adversary and the enemy
could have breached the gates of Jerusalem.
