Lamentations 4:13-16 But this was for the sins of her prophets and the guilt of her priests, who shed the blood of the righteous in her midst.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ But this was for the sins of her prophets and the guilt of her priests, who shed the blood of the righteous in her midst. ¹⁴ They wandered blind in the streets, defiled by this blood, so that no one dared to touch their garments. ¹⁵ “Go away! Unclean!” men shouted at them. “Away, away! Do not touch us!” So they fled and wandered. Among the nations it was said, “They can stay here no longer.” ¹⁶ The presence of the LORD has scattered them; He regards them no more. The priests are shown no honor; the elders find no favor.
