- Yet You have rejected us and brought us to dishonor, And do not go out with our armies.
- You cause us to turn back from the adversary; And those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves.
- You give us as sheep to be eaten And have scattered us among the nations.
- You sell Your people cheaply, And have not profited by their sale.
- You make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and a derision to those around us.
|
- You make us a byword among the nations, A laughingstock among the peoples.
- All day long my dishonor is before me And my humiliation has overwhelmed me,
- Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles, Because of the presence of the enemy and the avenger.
- All this has come upon us, but we have not forgotten You, And we have not dealt falsely with Your covenant.
- Our heart has not turned back, And our steps have not deviated from Your way,
|
- Yet You have crushed us in a place of jackals And covered us with the shadow of death.
