Lamentations 4:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ Now these same men are blindly staggering through the streets, covered with blood, defiling everything they touch.

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.
