← Lamentations 4:14	Lamentations 4:15 (KJV)	Lamentations 4:16 →
They have wandered [as] blind [men] in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments.	They cried unto them, Depart ye; [it is] unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn [there].	The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders.
