13But it happened because of the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests, who shed within her the blood of the righteous.
14Now they grope through the streets as if they were blind. They are so defiled with blood that no one dares to touch their garments.
15“Go away! You are unclean!” people cry to them. “Away! Away! Don’t touch us!” When they flee and wander about, people among the nations say, “They can stay here no longer.”
16The LORD himself has scattered them; he no longer watches over them. The priests are shown no honor, the elders no favor.
