Lamentations 4:10-12

The Message

¹⁰ Nice and kindly women
    boiled their own children for supper.
This was the only food in town
    when my dear people were broken.

¹¹ God let all his anger loose, held nothing back.
    He poured out his raging wrath.
He set a fire in Zion
    that burned it to the ground.

¹² The kings of the earth couldn’t believe it.
    World rulers were in shock,
Watching old enemies march in big as you please,
    right through Jerusalem’s gates.
