Lamentations 4:15-17

Names of God Bible

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.”

¹⁷ “We are still straining our eyes, trying in vain to find help.
    We waited and waited for a nation that didn’t save us.
