'Priests' in the Bible

ד DaletThe roads to Zion mourn,for no one comes to the appointed festivals.All her gates are deserted;her priests groan,her young women grieve,and she herself is bitter.

ק QofI called to my lovers,but they betrayed me.My priests and eldersperished in the citywhile searching for foodto keep themselves alive.

ר ReshLord, look and considerwho You have done this to.Should women eat their own children,the infants they have nurtured?Should priests and prophetsbe killed in the Lord’s sanctuary?

מ MemYet it happened because of the sins of her prophetsand the guilt of her priests,who shed the blood of the righteouswithin her.

פ PeThe Lord Himself has scattered them;He regards them no more.The priests are not respected;the elders find no favor.
