Lamentations 4:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ Her leaders wandered through the streets as though blind,
    so stained with blood that no one would touch them.

¹⁵ “Get away!” people shouted. “You're defiled! Don't touch me!”
    So they wandered from nation to nation, welcomed by no one.

¹⁶ The Lord had no more concern for them; he scattered them himself.
    He showed no regard for our priests and leaders.
