13 Because of the sins of her prophets And the wrongdoings of her priests, Who have shed in her midst The blood of the righteous, 14 They wandered, blind, in the streets; They were defiled with blood, Such that no one could touch their garments. 15 “Keep away! Unclean!” they cried out of themselves. “Keep away, keep away, do not touch!” For they distanced themselves as well as wandered; People among the nations said, “They shall not continue to reside with us.” 16 The presence of the LORD has scattered them, He will not continue to look at them; They did not honor the priests, They did not favor the elders.
