In context

15“Go away! Unclean!” men shouted at them. “Away, away! Do not touch us!” So they fled and wandered. Among the nations it was said, “They can stay here no longer.”

16The presence of the LORD has scattered them; He regards them no more. The priests are shown no honor; the elders find no favor.

17All the while our eyes were failing as we looked in vain for help. We watched from our towers for a nation that could not save us.

18They stalked our every step, so that we could not walk in our streets. Our end drew near, our time ran out, for our end had come!

19Those who chased us were swifter than the eagles in the sky; they pursued us over the mountains and ambushed us in the wilderness.
