¹¹ Even to this very hour we do not have enough to eat or drink or to wear. We are often beaten, and we have no homes in which to live. ¹² We work hard with our own hands for our food. When people curse us, we bless them. When they hurt us, we put up with it. ¹³ When they tell evil lies about us, we speak nice words about them. Even today, we are treated as though we were the garbage of the world—the filth of the earth.
