Lamentations 4:15

Like lepers, they warned others to stay away from them (cf. Leviticus 13:45-46). They wandered away from their own people, and even the pagans did not want them living among them (cf. Deuteronomy 28:65-66). In Scripture, leprosy often illustrates the ravages of sin and death.

"As the false prophets and their followers had ’wandered’ blind with infatuated and idolatrous crime in the city (Lamentations 4:14), so they must now ’wander’ among the heathen in blind consternation with calamity." [Note: Jemieson, et al., p. 666.]
