Lamentations 4:15-17
Legacy Standard Bible
Samekh
15 “Depart! (A)Unclean!” [a]they cried of themselves.
“Depart, depart, do not touch!”
So they (B)fled and wandered;
Men among the nations said,
“They shall not continue to sojourn with us.”
Pe
16 The presence of Yahweh has eradicated them;
He will not continue to look at them;
They did not [b](C)honor the priests;
They did not favor the elders.
Ayin
17 Yet our eyes were spent,
Looking for [c]help was (D)vanity;
In our watching we have watched
For a (E)nation that could not save.
