Lamentations 4:16

It is because of the sins of her prophets

and the iniquities of her priests,

that have shed the blood of the just in the middle of her.

They wander as blind men in the streets.

They are polluted with blood,

So that men can’t touch their garments.

“Go away!” they cried to them.

“Unclean! Go away! Go away! Don’t touch!

When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations,

“They can’t live here any more.”

Our eyes still fail,

looking in vain for our help.

In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.

They hunt our steps,

so that we can’t go in our streets.

Our end is near.

Our days are fulfilled,

for our end has come.

Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky.

They chased us on the mountains.

They set an ambush for us in the wilderness.
