11The Lord hath accomplished his furie, he hath powred out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath deuoured the foundations thereof. 12The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world would not haue beleeued, that the aduersarie and the enemie should haue entred into the gates of Ierusalem. 13¶ For the sinnes of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that haue shed the blood of the iust in the middest of her: 14They haue wandred as blind men in the streetes, they haue polluted themselues with blood, so that men could not touch their garments. 15They cryed vnto them; Depart yee, it is vncleane, depart, depart, touch not, when they fled away and wandred: they said among the heathen, They shall no more soiourne there.
