Lamentations 4:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 But they cried unto them, Depart ye polluted, depart, depart, touch not: therefore they fled away, and wandered: they have said among the heathen, They shall no more dwell there.
16 The [a]anger of the Lord hath scattered them, he will no more regard them: [b]they reverenced not the face of the Priest, nor had compassion on the Elders.
17 While we waited for our vain help, our eyes failed: for in our waiting we looked for [c]a nation that could not save us.
