And the iniquities of her priests,
Who have shed in her midst
The bblood of the righteous;

They were defiled with bblood
So that no one could touch their cgarments.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
This was for the sins of her prophets
and the iniquities of her priests,
who shed in the midst of her
the blood of the righteous.
They wandered, blind, through the streets;
they were so defiled with blood
that no one was able to touch
their garments.
“Away! Unclean!” people cried at them.
“Away! Away! Do not touch!”
So they became fugitives and wanderers;
people said among the nations,
“They shall stay with us no longer.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)
But it happened because of the sins of her prophets
and the iniquities of her priests,
who shed within her
the blood of the righteous.
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.
“Go away! You are unclean!” people cry to them.
“Away! Away! Don’t touch us!”
When they flee and wander about,
people among the nations say,
“They can stay here no longer.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Yet it happened because of the sins of her prophets
and the iniquities of her priests,
who shed the blood of the righteous within her.
Blind, they stumbled in the streets,
defiled by this blood,
so that no one dared
to touch their garments.
“Stay away! Unclean!” people shouted at them.
“Away, away! Don’t touch us!”
So they wandered aimlessly.
It was said among the nations,
“They can stay here no longer.”

NLTNew Living Translation
Yet it happened because of the sins of her prophets
and the sins of her priests,
who defiled the city
by shedding innocent blood.
They wandered blindly
through the streets,
so defiled by blood
that no one dared touch them.
“Get away!” the people shouted at them.
“You’re defiled! Don’t touch us!”
So they fled to distant lands
and wandered among foreign nations,
but none would let them stay.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Because of the sins of her prophets,
the guilt of her priests,
who shed blood in her midst,
of righteous people.
They wander blindly in the streets;
they were defiled with the blood,
their clothes
could not be touched.
“Go away! Defiled!” they shout to them.
“Go away! Go away! Do not touch!”
so they left, they left; it was said among the nations,
“They will no longer dwell with us.”

KJV 1900King James Version
For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests,
That have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her,
They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood,
So that men could not touch their garments.
They cried unto them, Depart ye; it is unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered,
They said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn there.
