Lamentations 4:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 They have wandered as blind men[a]in the streets, and they were polluted with blood, so that[b]they would not touch their garments.
15 But they cried unto them, Depart ye polluted, depart, depart, touch not: therefore they fled away, and wandered: they have said among the heathen, They shall no more dwell there.
16 The [c]anger of the Lord hath scattered them, he will no more regard them: [d]they reverenced not the face of the Priest, nor had compassion on the Elders.
