Lamentations 4:13

Context

מ (Mem)

4:13 But it happened 1  due to the sins of her prophets 2 

and the iniquities of her priests,

who poured out in her midst

the blood of the righteous.

1 tn These words do not appear in the Hebrew, but are supplied to make sense of the line. The introductory causal preposition מִן (min) (“because”) indicates that this phrase – or something like it – is implied through elision.

2 tn There is no main verb in the verse; it is an extended prepositional phrase. One must either assume a verbal idea such as “But it happened due to…” or connect it to the following verses, which themselves are quite difficult. The former option was employed in the present translation.
