12 You sold your people for a pittance,gaining nothing from their sale.
13 You have made us a reproach to our neighbours,the scorn and derision of those around us.
14 You have made us a byword among the nations;the peoples shake their heads at us.
15 I live in disgrace all day long,and my face is covered with shame
16 at the taunts of those who reproach and revile me,because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.
17 All this came upon us,though we had not forgotten you;we had not been false to your covenant.
18 Our hearts had not turned back;our feet had not strayed from your path.
