The Blood of the Righteous

Verse 14 describes a group that a wandering blind through the streets defiled by blood. It is more likely still a reference to the prophets and the priests. Defiled by the blood of their victims they become bearers of uncleanness. While they seek sanctuary in other countries they don't want them there either. The Lord has scattered them because he has disregarded them just as they disregarded him in the messengers that he sent to them. In its latter days the kingdom of Judah had looked to Egypt for help but no such help forthcoming.
