13 But it happened due to the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests, who poured out in her midst the blood of the righteous. 14 They wander blindly through the streets, defiled by the blood they shed, while no one dares to touch their garments. 15 People cry to them, |Turn away! You are unclean! Turn away! Turn away! Don't touch us!| So they have fled and wander about; but the nations say, |They may not stay here any longer.| 16 The LORD himself has scattered them; he no longer watches over them. They did not honor the priests; they did not show favor to the elders. Lamentations 4:13-16, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
