ס (Samek)
4:15 People cry to them, “Turn away! You are unclean!
Turn away! Turn away! Don’t touch us!”
So they have fled and wander about;
but the nations say, 1 “They may not stay here any longer.”
צ (Tsade)
4:18 Our enemies 2 hunted us down at every step 3
so that we could not walk about in our streets.
Our end drew near, our days were numbered, 4
for our end had come!
