14. They wander in the streets, like blind men. They are so defiled with blood, no one can touch their garments.
15. “Turn away! Unclean!” They cry to them. “Turn away, turn away! Don’t touch!” So they fled and wandered about. People among the nations say, “They can stay here no longer.”
16. Adonai Himself has scattered them. He will look on them no more. They did not respect the kohanim. They did not favor the elders.
17. Even now our eyes waste away looking in vain for our help. From our towers we watched for a nation that could not save us.
