Lamentations 4:15-17
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

15 Samech. Depart you that are defiled, they cried out to them: Depart, get ye hence, touch not: for they quarrelled, and being removed, they said among the Gentiles: He will no more dwell among them.

16 Phe. The face of the Lord hath divided them, he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, neither had they pity on the ancient.

17 Ain. While we were yet standing, our eyes failed, expecting help for us in vain, when we looked attentively towards a nation that was not able to save.

Lamentations 4:15-17
New International Version

15 “Go away! You are unclean!” people cry to them.
    “Away! Away! Don’t touch us!”
When they flee and wander(A) about,
    people among the nations say,
    “They can stay here no longer.”(B)

16 The Lord himself has scattered them;
    he no longer watches over them.(C)
The priests are shown no honor,
    the elders(D) no favor.(E)

17 Moreover, our eyes failed,
    looking in vain(F) for help;(G)
from our towers we watched
    for a nation(H) that could not save us.
