- But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.
- Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
- Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.
- Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.
- Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
|
- But now you have rejected and humbled us; you no longer go out with our armies.
- You made us retreat before the enemy, and our adversaries have plundered us.
- You gave us up to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations.
- You sold your people for a pittance, gaining nothing from their sale.
- You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us.
|
- Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
- My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
- For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
- All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
- Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
|
- You have made us a byword among the nations; the peoples shake their heads at us.
- My disgrace is before me all day long, and my face is covered with shame
- at the taunts of those who reproach and revile me, because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.
- All this happened to us, though we had not forgotten you or been false to your covenant.
- Our hearts had not turned back; our feet had not strayed from your path.
|
- Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
|
- But you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals and covered us over with deep darkness.
