And all inhabitants of the world,
Would not have believed
That the adversary and the enemy
Could aenter the gates of Jerusalem—

Would not have believed
That the adversary and the enemy
Could aenter the gates of Jerusalem—
13 aBecause of the sins of her prophets
And the iniquities of her priests,
bWho shed in her midst
The blood of the just.
And the iniquities of her priests,
bWho shed in her midst
The blood of the just.
