Lamentations 4:15-17

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁵ “Go away! Unclean!” people shouted to them. “Go away! Go away! Do not touch us!”
    When they fled, when they staggered, people among the nations said,
    “They may not stay here anymore.”
¹⁶ The face of the Lord scattered them. He has no regard for them anymore.
    Priests were shown no consideration. Elders were shown no favor.
¹⁷ Our eyes are still worn out, looking in vain for our help.
    In our watchtowers we watched for a nation that could not save us.
