Context

11Yahweh has accomplished his wrath. He has poured out his fierce anger. He has kindled a fire in Zion, which has devoured its foundations.

12The 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.

13It is because of the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests, That have shed the blood of the just in the middle of her.

14They 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 among the nations, “They can’t live here any more.”

16Yahweh’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 favor the elders.

17Our eyes still fail, looking in vain for our help. In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
