12 You have given us over like sheep for food. You have scattered us among the Gentiles.
13 You have sold your people without a price, and no great number was exchanged for them.
14 You have set us as a disgrace to our neighbors, a scoff and a derision to those who are around us.
15 You have set us as a parable among the Gentiles, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
16 All day long my shame is before me, and the confusion of my face has covered me,
17 before the voice of the reproacher and the commentator, before the face of the adversary and the pursuer.
18 All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten you, and we have not acted unjustly in your covenant.
