In context

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.

17 All the while our eyes were failing as we looked in vain for help. We watched from our towers for a nation that could not save us.

18 They stalked our every step, so that we could not walk in our streets. Our end drew near, our time ran out, for our end had come!
