10 Tenderhearted women
    have cooked their own children.
They have eaten them
    to survive the siege.

11 But now the anger of the Lord is satisfied.
    His fierce anger has been poured out.
He started a fire in Jerusalem[a]
    that burned the city to its foundations.

12 Not a king in all the earth—
    no one in all the world—
would have believed that an enemy
    could march through the gates of Jerusalem.
