Lamentations 4:14-16

14They wandered, blind, in the streets; They were defiled with blood So that no one could touch their garments.

15People cried to them, “Go away! Unclean! Depart! Depart! Do not touch!” So they fled, then they wandered [as fugitives]; People among the nations said, “They shall not stay here any longer with us.”

16The presence of the Lord scattered them [among the nations]; He will not continue to look after them. They did not honor the priests; They did not favor the elders.
