And all inhabitants of the world,
Would not have believed

And all inhabitants of the world,
Would not have believed
That the adversary and the enemy
Could aenter the gates of Jerusalem—
13 aBecause of the sins of her prophets
And the iniquities of her priests,
bWho shed in her midst
The blood of the just.
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.

“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.”

Go away, go away,
Do not touch us!”
