14 My people staggered blindly through the streets.
    They were so contaminated with bloodstains
        that no one would touch their clothes.
15 ‘Get away! You’re unclean,’[a] people yelled at them.
    ‘Get away! Get away! Don’t touch anyone.’
    When they fled and wandered around,
        the people of the nations said, ‘They can’t stay here any longer.’
16 Yahweh himself has scattered them.
    He will no longer look favorably on them.
        They no longer respected the priests,
            nor did they honor their older leaders.”
