Lamentaciones 4:13 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 4:13

For the sins of her prophets, [and] the iniquities of her
priests
Aben Ezra interprets this of the prophets of Baal, and the priests of the high places; but though false prophets and wicked priests are meant, yet such as were among the Jews, made choice of and approved of by them: see ( 2 Chronicles 36:14 ) ; not that the people were faultless, but these were the principals, who by their examples led on and encouraged the common people in sin: that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her;
not the blood of innocent children, sacrificed to them by Moloch; but of good men in general, whom they persecuted and slew; and of the true prophets of the Lord in particular, whose blood they shed; and was the sin that brought on the destruction of their city by the Romans, as well as of that by the Chaldeans; see ( Matthew 23:35-38 ) ( James 5:6 ) .

Lamentaciones 4:13 In-Context

11 El SEÑOR ha cumplido su furor, ha derramado su ardiente ira; y ha encendido un fuego en Sion que ha consumido sus cimientos.
12 No creyeron los reyes de la tierra, ni ninguno de los habitantes del mundo, que pudieran entrar el adversario y el enemigo por las puertas de Jerusalén.
13 A causa de los pecados de sus profetas y de las iniquidades de sus sacerdotes, quienes derramaron en medio de ella la sangre de los justos,
14 vagaron ciegos por las calles, manchados de sangre, sin que nadie pudiera tocar sus vestidos.
15 ¡Apartaos! ¡Inmundos! gritaban de sí mismos. ¡Apartaos, apartaos, no toquéis! Así que huyeron y vagaron; entre las naciones se decía: No seguirán residiendo entre nosotros.
