Lamentations 4:13-15

New Catholic Bible

¹³ That occurred because of the sins of her prophets
    and the crimes of her priests
who had shed within her walls
    the blood of the righteous.^[a]
14 They staggered blindly in the streets,
    so defiled with blood
that not one of the people dared
    to touch their garments.
¹⁵ “Go away! You are unclean!” the people shouted.
    “Keep away! Do not touch us!”
Wherever they fled, the people would cry out,
    “You cannot stay here any longer!”
