13 Because of the sins of her prophets And the iniquities 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 So that no one could touch their garments. 15 “Depart! Unclean!” they cried of themselves. “Depart, depart, do not touch!” So they fled and wandered; Men among the nations said, “They shall not continue to dwell with us.” 16 The presence of the LORD has scattered them; He will not continue to regard them. They did not honor the priests, They did not favor the elders. Lamentations 4:13-16, New American Standard 1977. Copyright © 1977 by The Lockman Foundation.
