Lamentations 4:15
Compare all
13 aBecause of the sins of her prophets
And the iniquities of her priests,
bWho shed in her midst
The blood of the just. 
14 They wandered blind in the streets;
aThey have defiled themselves with blood,
bSo that no one would touch their garments. 
15 They cried out to them,
“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.” 
16 The1 face of the Lord scattered them;
He no longer regards them.
aThe people do not respect the priests
Nor show favor to the elders. 
17 Still aour eyes failed us,
Watching vainly for our help;
In our watching we watched
For a nation that could not save us.

Lamentations 4:15

Touch not - The Jews that made conscience of keeping the law against touching dead bodies, cried to the other Jews to leave the city as themselves did, the city being now so full of dead bodies that they could not stay in it without polluting themselves.
