Lamentations 4:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ Those leaders walked in the streets like men who cannot see.
There was blood on their clothes and everybody was afraid to touch them.
¹⁵ ‘Go away!’ people shouted at them.
‘Do not touch us!
You are too dirty to be among God's people!’
So they went away to other countries, but the people there did not want them.
‘They cannot stay here with us!’ those people said.
¹⁶ The Lord himself has sent them away.
He will not take care of them any longer.
Nobody respects the priests.
Nobody is kind to the leaders.^[a]
