13 Except for the sins of her prophets and the crimes of her priests, Who poured out in her midst the blood of the just. 14 They staggered blindly in the streets, defiled with blood, So that people could not touch even their garments: 15 “Go away! Unclean!” they cried to them, “Away, away, do not touch!” If they went away and wandered, it would be said among the nations, “They can no longer live here! 16 The presence of the LORD was their portion, but he no longer looks upon them. The priests are shown no regard, the elders, no mercy. Lamentations 4:13-16, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
