Lamentations 4:12-16

12The kings of the earth did not believe, nor any of the inhabitants of the world, that foe or enemy could enter the gates of Jerusalem.

13This was for the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests, who shed in the midst of her the blood of the righteous.

14They wandered, blind, through the streets; they were so defiled with blood that no one was able to touch their garments.

15"Away! Unclean!" people cried at them. "Away! Away! Do not touch!" So they became fugitives and wanderers; people said among the nations, "They shall stay with us no longer."

16The Lord himself has scattered them; he will regard them no more; no honor was shown to the priests, no favor to the elders.
