13. Because of the sins of her prophetsAnd the iniquities of her priests,Who shed in her midstThe blood of the just.
14. They wandered blind in the streets;They have defiled themselves with blood,So that no one would touch their garments.
15. They cried out to them,“Go away, unclean!Go away, go away,Do not touch us!”When they fled and wandered,Those among the nations said,“They shall no longer dwell here.”
16. The face of the Lord scattered them;He no longer regards them.The people do not respect the priestsNor show favor to the elders.
