And all inhabitants of the world,
Would not have believed
That the adversary and the enemy
Could aenter the gates of Jerusalem—
And the iniquities of her priests,
bWho shed in her midst
The blood of the just.
aThey have defiled themselves with blood,
bSo that no one would touch their garments.
“Go away, aunclean!
Go away, go away,
Do not touch us!”
When they fled and wandered,
Those among the nations said,
“They shall no longer dwell here.”
He no longer regards them.
aThe people do not respect the priests
Nor show favor to the elders.

Lamentations 4:14
They have wandered - God' s ministers, consecrated to His service, wandered through the city blinded by the insatiable lust of slaughter. It was a pollution to touch their garments.
