14 Now they grope through the streets

as if they were blind.

They are so defiled with blood

that no one dares to touch their garments.

14 They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood,

So that men could not touch their garments.

14 They wandered blindly

through the streets,

so defiled by blood

that no one dared touch them.

14 They wandered blind in the streets;

They have defiled themselves with blood,

So that no one would touch their garments.

14 They wandered in the streets

as if they were blind.

They were dirty with blood,

so no one would touch their clothes.

14 They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted with blood,

So that men cannot touch their garments.

14 They wandered about blind in the streets; they were polluted with blood, so that men could not touch their garments.

14 My people staggered blindly through the streets. 

They were so contaminated with bloodstains 

that no one would touch their clothes. 

14 Blind, they stumbled in the streets,

defiled by this blood,

so that no one dared

to touch their garments.

14 Blindly they wandered through the streets,

so defiled with blood

that no one was able

to touch their garments.

14 They wander blindly in the streets;

they were defiled with the blood,

their clothes

could not be touched.

14 Now those prophets and priests

have to feel their way along the streets

like people who are blind.

The blood of those they killed has made them “unclean.”

So no one dares even to touch their clothes.

14 They wandered, blind, in the streets;

They were defiled with blood

So that no one could touch their garments.
