12. The kings of the earth didn’t believe,neither did all the inhabitants of the world,that the adversary and the enemy would enter into the gates of Jerusalem.
13. It is because of the sins of her prophetsand the iniquities of her priests,That have shed the blood of the just in the middle of her.
14. They wander as blind men in the streets.They are polluted with blood,So that men can’t touch their garments.
15. “Go away!” they cried to them.“Unclean! Go away! Go away! Don’t touch!When they fled away and wandered, men said amongst the nations,“They can’t live here any more.”
16. the Lord’s anger has scattered them.He will not pay attention to them any more.They didn’t respect the persons of the priests.They didn’t favour the elders.
