12 You sold your peoplefor little or nothing,and you earned no profit.
13 You made us look foolishto our neighbours,and people who live nearbyinsult us and sneer.
14 Foreigners joke about usand shake their heads.
15 I am embarrassed every day,and I blush with shame.
16 But others mock and sneer,as they watch my enemiestake revenge on me.
17 All of this has happened to us,though we didn't forget youor break our agreement.
18 We always kept you in mindand followed your teaching.
