6 Do not let those who put their hope in Yoube disgraced because of me,Lord God of Hosts;do not let those who seek Yoube humiliated because of me,God of Israel.
7 For I have endured insults because of You,and shame has covered my face.
8 I have become a stranger to my brothersand a foreigner to my mother’s sons
9 because zeal for Your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult Youhave fallen on me.
10 I mourned and fasted,but it brought me insults.
11 I wore sackcloth as my clothing,and I was a joke to them.
12 Those who sit at the city gate talk about me,and drunkards make up songs about me.
