6 Don’t let those who trust in you be ashamed because of me,O Sovereign lord of Heaven’s Armies.Don’t let me cause them to be humiliated,O God of Israel.
7 For I endure insults for your sake;humiliation is written all over my face.
8 Even my own brothers pretend they don’t know me;they treat me like a stranger.
9 Passion for your house has consumed me,and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.
10 When I weep and fast,they scoff at me.
11 When I dress in burlap to show sorrow,they make fun of me.
12 I am the favorite topic of town gossip,and all the drunks sing about me.
