Lamentations 4:13-15

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹³ It was for the sins of her prophets
    and the iniquities of her priests,
who shed the blood of the righteous
    in the midst of her.

¹⁴ Blindly they wandered through the streets,
    so defiled with blood
that no one was able
    to touch their garments.

¹⁵ ‘Away! Unclean!’ people shouted at them;
    ‘Away! Away! Do not touch!’
So they became fugitives and wanderers;
    it was said among the nations,
    ‘They shall stay here no longer.’
