Lamentations 4:13-15

Complete Jewish Bible

¹³ It happened because of the sins of her prophets
and the offenses of her cohanim,
who, within her walls,
shed the blood of the righteous.

¹⁴ They wander in the streets like the blind;
they are so polluted with blood
that nobody is able
even to touch their clothing.

¹⁵ “Keep away! Unclean!” people shout at them,
“Keep away! Away! Don’t touch us!”
They flee, to wander here and there;
but no nation allows them to stay.
