Lamentations - 4:13 Meaning
“For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her,”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
4:13-20 Nothing ripens a people more for ruin, nor fills the measure faster, than the sins of priests and prophets. The king himself cannot escape, for Divine vengeance pursues him. Our anointed King alone is the life of our souls; we may safely live under his shadow, and rejoice in Him in the midst of our enemies, for He is the true God and eternal life.
“And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the LORD: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.”
