Lamentations 4:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 “Go away! Defiled!” they shout to them.
“Go away! Go away! Do not touch!”
so they left, they left; it was said among the nations,
“They will no longer dwell with us.”[a]
16 The presence of Yahweh has scattered them,
he will no longer watch over them;
they did not honor the priests,[b]
they did not show mercy to elders.
17 Still our eyes failed,
looking for our help in vain;
in our watchtower, we kept watch
for a nation that could not save.
