Lamentations 4:13-15

Modern English Version

¹³ This was for the sins of her prophets
    and the iniquities of her priests,
who poured out in her midst the blood of the righteous.

¹⁴ They wandered,
    blind, in the streets;
they have defiled themselves with blood,
    so that no one could touch their garments.

¹⁵ They cried out to them, “Depart! Unclean!
    Depart, depart, do not touch us!”
Therefore they fled and wandered;
    men among the nations said,
    “They shall live with us no longer.”
