New Living Translation

Lamentations 4:11-13 New Living Translation (NLT)

11. But now the anger of the lord is satisfied.His fierce anger has been poured out.He started a fire in Jerusalemthat burned the city to its foundations.

12. Not a king in all the earth—no one in all the world—would have believed that an enemycould march through the gates of Jerusalem.

13. Yet it happened because of the sins of her prophetsand the sins of her priests,who defiled the cityby shedding innocent blood.
