Lamentations 4:14
They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments.
KJV
Erraverunt cæci in plateis, polluti sunt in sanguine ; cumque non possent, tenuerunt lacinias suas.
Vulgate
Νούν. Ἐσαλεύθησαν ἐγρήγοροι αὐτῆς ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις, ἐμολύνθησαν ἐν αἵματι ἐν τῷ μὴ δύνασθαι αὐτούς, ἥψαντο ἐνδυμάτων αὐτῶν.
LXX
They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted with blood, So that men cannot touch their garments.
