Lamentations 4:15-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 “Away! Unclean!” people shouted at them;
“Away! Away! Do not touch!”
So they became fugitives and wanderers;
it was said among the nations,
“They shall stay here no longer.”(A)
16 The Lord himself has scattered them;
he will regard them no more;
no honor was shown to the priests,
no favor to the elders.(B)
17 Our eyes failed, ever watching
vainly for help;
we were watching eagerly
for a nation that could not save.(C)
