“Yahweh has accomplished his wrath.He has poured out his fierce anger.He has kindled a fire in Zion,which has devoured its foundations.”
Lamentations 4:11 (WEB)
Context Reading
9Those who are killed with the sword are better than those who are killed with hunger;for these pine away, stricken through,for lack of the fruits of the field. 10The hands of the pitiful women have boiled their own children.They were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people. 11Yahweh has accomplished his wrath.He has poured out his fierce anger.He has kindled a fire in Zion,which has devoured its foundations. 12The kings of the earth didn’t believe,neither did all the inhabitants of the world,that the adversary and the enemy would enter into the gates of Jerusalem. 13It is because of the sins of her prophetsand the iniquities of her priests,that have shed the blood of the just in the middle of her.
