耶利米哀歌 4:14 ^ 他們在街上如瞎子亂走、又被血玷污、以致人不能摸他們的衣服。	Lamentations 4:14 ^ They are wandering like blind men in the streets, they are made unclean with blood, so that their robes may not be touched by men.
耶利米哀歌 4:15 ^ 人向他們喊著說、不潔淨的．躲開、躲開、不要挨近我．他們逃走飄流的時候、列國中有人說、他們不可仍在這裡寄居。	Lamentations 4:15 ^ Away! unclean! they were crying out to them, Away! away! let there be no touching: when they went away in flight and wandering, men said among the nations, There is no further resting-place for them.
