Context of Lamentations 4:11
9They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through, for want of the fruits of the field. 10The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children; they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people. The LORD hath accomplished his fury, he hath poured out his fierce anger; and he hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath devoured the foundations thereof. 12The kings of the earth believed not, neither all the inhabitants of the world, that the adversary and the enemy should enter into the gates of Jerusalem. 13It is because of the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her.
