Context
10The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
11The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured 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 have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.
13For the sins of her prophets, the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her,
14They have wandered blind in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments.
15They cried unto them, Depart ye; unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn
16The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders.
