Lamentations 4:14

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

They wandered blind in the streets, defiled by this blood, so that no one dared to touch their garments.

In context

12 The kings of the earth did not believe, nor any people of the world, that an enemy or a foe could enter the gates of Jerusalem.

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.
