12. The kings of the earth couldn’t believe it.World rulers were in shock,Watching old enemies march in big as you please,right through Jerusalem’s gates.
13. Because of the sins of her prophetsand the evil of her priests,Who exploited good and trusting people,robbing them of their lives,
14. These prophets and priests blindly grope their way through the streets,grimy and stained from their dirty lives,Wasted by their wasted lives,shuffling from fatigue, dressed in rags.
15. People yell at them, “Get out of here, dirty old men!Get lost, don’t touch us, don’t infect us!”They have to leave town. They wander off.Nobody wants them to stay here.Everyone knows, wherever they wander,that they’ve been kicked out of their own hometown.
