Lamentations 4:15

They cried unto them, Depart ye; it is unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn there.

The verse portrays a people driven out from their own land under the stigma of uncleanness. Those around them raised the cry to get out and keep away, demanding departure and forbidding any contact or touch. The expelled ones fled and wandered among foreign nations, where the peoples among whom they came declared they would no longer be allowed to sojourn and dwell there.
