14They have wandered naked in out-places, They have been polluted with blood, Without [any] being able to touch their clothing,
15`Turn aside -- unclean,` they called to them, `Turn aside, turn aside, touch not,` For they fled -- yea, they have wandered, They have said among nations: `They do not add to sojourn.`
16The face of Jehovah hath divided them, He doth not add to behold them, The face of priests they have not lifted up, Elders they have not favoured.
17While we exist -- consumed are our eyes for our vain help, In our watch-tower we have watched for a nation [that] saveth not.
18They have hunted our steps from going in our broad-places, Near hath been our end, fulfilled our days, For come hath our end.
19Swifter have been our pursuers, Than the eagles of the heavens, On the mountains they have burned [after] us, In the wilderness they have laid wait for us.
20The breath of our nostrils -- the anointed of Jehovah, Hath been captured in their pits, of whom we said: `In his shadow we do live among nations.`
