12 You sell your people for almost nothing,and at that price you have gained nothing.
13 You made us a disgrace to our neighborsand an object of ridicule and contempt to those around us.
14 You made our ⌊defeat⌋ a proverb among the nationsso that people shake their heads at us.
15 All day long my disgrace is in front of me.Shame covers my face
16 because of the words of those who insult and slander us,because of the presence of the enemy and the avenger.
17 Although all of this happened to us,we never forgot you.We never ignored your promise.
18 Our hearts never turned away.Our feet never left your path.
