Lamentations 4:13-15

The Voice

¹³ Many and terrible were the crimes that her leaders,
    the ones who should be most righteous of all, committed.
Prophets and priests shed the blood of the upstanding
    and also the just in her midst.

¹⁴ Never had leaders wandered blindly,
    polluted by the blood they spilled,
Untouchable even by their garments.

¹⁵ “Out! Get away from us. We’re impure. Do not touch us!”
    the priests and prophets yelled.
So they wandered like fugitives, rejected wherever they went.
    Even the foreign nations wouldn’t take them.
