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.


In Context

13 Because of the sins of her prophets, The iniquities of her priests, Who are shedding in her midst the blood of the righteous,

14 They 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.'

16 The 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.

17 While we exist — consumed are our eyes for our vain help, In our watch-tower we have watched for a nation that saveth not.

18 They have hunted our steps from going in our broad-places, Near hath been our end, fulfilled our days, For come hath our end.
