Lamentations 4:11-17
New International Version
11 The Lord has given full vent to his wrath;(A)
he has poured out(B) his fierce anger.(C)
He kindled a fire(D) in Zion
that consumed her foundations.(E)
12 The kings of the earth did not believe,
nor did any of the peoples of the world,
that enemies and foes could enter
the gates of Jerusalem.(F)
13 But it happened because of the sins of her prophets
and the iniquities of her priests,(G)
who shed within her
the blood(H) of the righteous.
14 Now they grope through the streets
as if they were blind.(I)
They are so defiled with blood(J)
that no one dares to touch their garments.
15 “Go away! You are unclean!” people cry to them.
“Away! Away! Don’t touch us!”
When they flee and wander(K) about,
people among the nations say,
“They can stay here no longer.”(L)
