Context of Lamentations 4:11
9The slain with the sword are happier than the slain with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field. 10The hands of pitiful women have boiled their own children: they were their meat in the ruin of the daughter of my people. Jehovah hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath consumed the foundations thereof. 12The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should enter into the gates of Jerusalem. 13[It is] for the sins of her prophets, [and] the iniquities of her priests, who have shed the blood of the righteous in the midst of her.
