New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 The kings of the earth did not believe,
nor did any of the inhabitants of the world,
that foe or enemy could enter
the gates of Jerusalem.(A)
13 It was for the sins of her prophets
and the iniquities of her priests,
who shed the blood of the righteous
in her midst.(B)
14 Blindly they wandered through the streets,
so defiled with blood
that no one was able
to touch their garments.(C)
