Lamentations 4:13-16 It is because of the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her.

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ It is because of the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her. ¹⁴ They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted with blood, so that men can't touch their garments. ¹⁵ "Go away." they cried to them, "Unclean. Away, away. Do not touch." When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations, "They shall not live here anymore." ¹⁶ The LORD himself has scattered them; he will no more regard them. They did not respect the priests, they did not favor the elders.
