Lamentations 4:15

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.”

Lamentations 4:18

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!
