15. “Go away!” they cried to them.“Unclean! Go away! Go away! Don’t touch!When they fled away and wandered, men said amongst the nations,“They can’t live here any more.”
16. the Lord’s anger has scattered them.He will not pay attention to them any more.They didn’t respect the persons of the priests.They didn’t favour the elders.
17. Our eyes still fail,looking in vain for our help.In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
18. They hunt our steps,so that we can’t go in our streets.Our end is near.Our days are fulfilled,for our end has come.
