Lamentations 4:15-17
Living Bible
15 “Get away!” the people shout at them. “You are defiled!” They flee to distant lands and wander there among the foreigners; but none will let them stay. 16 The Lord himself has dealt with them; he no longer helps them, for they persecuted the priests and elders who stayed true to God.
17 We look for our allies[a] to come and save us, but we look in vain. The nation we expected most to help us makes no move at all.
