6 Let not those who hope in you be put to shame through me,O Lord God of hosts;let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me,O God of Israel.
7 For it is for your sake that I have borne reproach,that dishonor has covered my face.
8 I have become a stranger to my brothers,an alien to my mother’s sons.
9 For zeal for your house has consumed me,and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
10 When I wept and humbled my soul with fasting,it became my reproach.
11 When I made sackcloth my clothing,I became a byword to them.
12 I am the talk of those who sit in the gate,and the drunkards make songs about me.
