Lamentations 4:10-12

Good News Translation

^10 (A)The disaster that came to my people brought horror;
    loving mothers boiled their own children for food.

¹¹ The Lord turned loose the full force of his fury;
    he lit a fire in Zion that burned it to the ground.

¹² No one anywhere, not even rulers of foreign nations,
    believed that any invader could enter Jerusalem's gates.
