The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 4 of Lamentations. The religious leaders themselves become people who are avoided and rejected. The community expected help from other nations, but that hope proves useless. The section shows the double disappointment caused by corrupt leaders and political alliances unable to save Jerusalem.

Des HERRN Zorn hat sie zerstreut; er will sie nicht mehr ansehen. Die Priester ehrte man nicht, und mit den Alten übte man keine Barmherzigkeit.
La ira de Jehová los apartó, no los mirará más: No respetaron la faz de los sacerdotes, ni tuvieron compasión de los viejos.
El rostro de Jehová los ha dispersado; no volverá a mirarlos. No honraron a los sacerdotes ni tuvieron compasión de los ancianos.
L'Eternel les a dispersés dans sa colère, Il ne tourne plus les regards vers eux; On n'a eu ni respect pour les sacrificateurs, Ni pitié pour les vieillards.
La faccia del Signore li ha dispersi; Egli non continuerà più a riguardarli; Non hanno avuto alcun rispetto a’ sacerdoti, Nè pietà de’ vecchi.
A face indignada do SENHOR os espalhou, ele nunca mais tornará a olhar para eles; não respeitaram a pessoa dos sacerdotes, nem se compadeceram dos velhos.
耶和華親自趕散他們, 不再眷顧他們; 不看重祭司,也不厚待長老。
