11 You handed us over to be eaten up like sheep. You have scattered us among the nations.
12 You sold your people for very little. You didn't gain anything when you sold them.
13 You have made us something that our neighbors laugh at. Those who live around us make fun of us and tease us.
14 The nations make jokes about us. They shake their heads at us.
15 All day long I am reminded of my shame. My face is covered with it
16 because of those who laugh at me and attack me with their words. They want to get even with me.
17 All of this happened to us, even though we had not forgotten you. We had been true to the covenant you made with us.
