Lamentations 4:12-16
12The kingsH4428 of the earthH776 did notH3808 believeH539, nor anyH3605 peopleH3427 of the worldH8398, thatH3588 an enemyH6862 or a foeH341 could enterH935 the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389.
13But this was for the sinsH2403 of her prophetsH5030and the guiltH5771 of her priestsH3548,who shedH8210 the bloodH1818 of the righteousH6662in her midstH7130.
14They wanderedH5128 blindH5787 in the streetsH2351,defiledH1351 by this bloodH1818,so that noH3808 one daredH3201to touchH5060 their garmentsH3830.
15“Go awayH5493! UncleanH2931!”men shoutedH7121 at them.“AwayH5493, awayH5493! Do notH408 touch usH5060!”SoH3588 they fledH5132 andH1571 wanderedH5128.Among the nationsH1471 it was saidH559,“They can stayH1481 here noH3808 longerH3254.”
16The presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068 has scattered themH2505;He regards themH5027 noH3808 moreH3254.The priestsH3548 are shown no honorH3808H6440H5375;the eldersH2205 find noH3808 favorH2603.
