Lamentations 4:14

They wander around like blind men in the streets,
so stained with blood
that one cannot [dare]
touch their clothes.
[The fourteenth Hebrew letter is: נ – nun. The character depicts a grain of wheat that has begun to sprout and often describes offspring and continuity. Sometimes it is also associated with a fish or a snake. It is often used to describe continuation and continuity. The words "They wander about" begin with that letter. Here, the word is used for avenger of blood, which is related to a redeemer's mission to avenge the blood of a relative, see Num. 35:19; Ruth 2:20.]
