Lamentations 4:15 Context
13¶ For the sinnes of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that haue shed the blood of the iust in the middest of her: 14They haue wandred as blind men in the streetes, they haue polluted themselues with blood, so that men could not touch their garments. 15They cryed vnto them; Depart yee, it is vncleane, depart, depart, touch not, when they fled away and wandred: they said among the heathen, They shall no more soiourne there. 16The anger of the Lord hath diuided them, he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they fauoured not the elders. 17As for vs, our eyes as yet failed for our vaine helpe: in our watching we haue watched for a nation that could not saue vs.
