Lamentations 4:14-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁴ They wandered, ^(A)blind, in the streets;
They were defiled with ^(B)blood
So that no one could touch their ^(C)garments.
¹⁵ “Depart! ^(D)Unclean!” ^[a]they cried of themselves.
“Depart, depart, do not touch!”
So they ^(E)fled and wandered;
Men among the nations said,
“They shall not continue to dwell with us.”
¹⁶ The presence of the Lord has scattered them,
He will not continue to regard them;
They did not ^[b](F)honor the priests,
They did not favor the elders.
