Lamentations 4:14-16

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁴ They wander in the streets like the blind;
they are so polluted with blood
that nobody is able
even to touch their clothing.

¹⁵ “Keep away! Unclean!” people shout at them,
“Keep away! Away! Don’t touch us!”
They flee, to wander here and there;
but no nation allows them to stay.

¹⁶ Adonai himself scattered them;
he will no longer look after them;
they had no respect for cohanim
and showed no kindness to the leaders.
