Lamentations 4:14 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments.

They have wandered as blind - with mental aberration. They have polluted themselves with blood - both with blood of one another mutually shed-for instance, with "the blood ... of the poor innocents" slain to Moloch (Jeremiah 2:34) - and with their blood shed by the enemy (Glassius). So that men could not touch their garments - as being defiled with blood (Numbers 19:16).

[Samech (c)]
