Lamentations 4:15 in Context — Lamentations 4
13 [Assim] foi por causa dos pecados de seus profetas, por causa das maldades de seus sacerdotes, que derramaram o sangue dos justos em meio dela.
14 Titubearam [como] cegos nas ruas, andaram contaminados de sangue, de maneira que ninguém podia tocar suas vestes.
15 Gritavam-lhes: Afastai-vos, imundos! Afastai-vos, afastai-vos, não toqueis. Quando fugiram e andaram sem rumo, foi dito entre as nações: Aqui não morarão.
16 A face do SENHOR os dispersou, não os olhará mais: não respeitaram a face dos sacerdotes, nem tiveram compaixão dos velhos.
17 Quanto a nós, desfaleceram-se nossos olhos [esperando] por socorro para nós; aguardávamos atentamente uma nação que não podia salvar.
