- The LORD has accomplished His wrath, He has poured out His fierce anger; And He has kindled a fire in Zion Which has consumed its foundations.
- The kings of the earth did not believe, Nor did any of the inhabitants of the world, That the adversary and the enemy Could enter the gates of Jerusalem.
- Because of the sins of her prophets And the iniquities of her priests, Who have shed in her midst The blood of the righteous;
- They wandered, blind, in the streets; They were defiled with blood So that no one could touch their garments.
- "Depart! Unclean!" they cried of themselves "Depart, depart, do not touch!" So they fled and wandered; Men among the nations said, "They shall not continue to dwell with us."
