- So that they dwell in dreadful valleys, In holes of the earth and of the rocks.
- "Among the bushes they cry out; Under the nettles they are gathered together.
- "Fools, even those without a name, They were scourged from the land.
- "And now I have become their taunt, I have even become a byword to them.
- "They abhor me and stand aloof from me, And they do not refrain from spitting at my face.

- To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
- Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
- They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
- And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
- They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
