13But this was for the sins of her prophets
and the guilt of her priests,
who shed the blood of the righteous
in her midst.
14They wandered blind in the streets,
defiled by this blood,
so that no one dared
to touch their garments.
15“Go away! Unclean!”
men shouted at them.
“Away, away! Do not touch us!”
So they fled and wandered.
Among the nations it was said,
“They can stay here no longer.”
— Lamentations 4:13-15
