Lamentations 4:11-13
EasyEnglish Bible
11 The Lord was very angry.
So he sent fire to burn Zion.
It destroyed the whole city, even the strongest houses.
12 The kings in the other cities on earth could not believe it.[a]
None of the people on earth could believe it.
They thought that no enemy could go through Jerusalem's gates.
13 God punished Jerusalem and its people because their leaders sinned.
God did not like the things that their prophets and priests did.
They had caused good people to die.
Footnotes
- 4:12 These other people had seen or they knew about Jerusalem's strong walls. They also knew that Jerusalem and Jerusalem's people were special to God. So they were very surprised about what happened to the city.
