Lamentations 4:12-16
12The kingsH4428 of the earthH776 did not believeH539, NorH3808 did anyH3605 of 1the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398, That the adversaryH6862 and the enemyH340 Could 2enterH935 the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389.13BecauseH4480 of the sinsH2403 of her 3prophetsH5030 And the iniquitiesH5771 of her priestsH3548, Who have shedH8210 in her midstH7130 The 4bloodH1818 of the righteousH6662;14They wanderedH5128, 5blindH5787, in the streetsH2351; They were defiledH1351 with 6bloodH1818 So that noH3808 one couldH3201 touchH5060 their 7garmentsH3830.15“DepartH5493! 8UncleanH2931!” 9they criedH7121 of themselves. “DepartH5493, departH5493, do not touchH5060!” SoH3588 they 10fledH5327 and wanderedH5128; Men among the nationsH1471 saidH559, “They shall not continueH3254 to dwellH1481 with us.”16The presenceH6440 of the LordH3068 has scatteredH2505 them, He will not continueH3254 to regardH5027 them; They did not 1112honorH5375H6440 the priestsH3548, They did not favorH2603 the eldersH2205.
