Lamentations 4:12-14

Living Bible

¹² Not a king in all the earth—no one in all the world—would have believed an enemy could enter through Jerusalem’s gates! ¹³ Yet God permitted it because of the sins of her prophets and priests, who defiled the city by shedding innocent blood. ¹⁴ Now these same men are blindly staggering through the streets, covered with blood, defiling everything they touch.
