13 Because of the sins of her (A)prophets
And the wrongdoings of her priests,
Who have shed in her midst
The (B)blood of the righteous,
14 They wandered, (C)blind, in the streets;
They were defiled with (D)blood,
Such that no one could touch their (E)garments.
15 “Keep away! (F)Unclean!” [a]they cried out of themselves.
“Keep away, keep away, do not touch!”
For they (G)distanced themselves as well as wandered;
People among the nations said,
“They shall not continue to reside with us.”
