- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- But you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals and covered us over with deep darkness.
