10 You made us retreat(A) before the enemy,
    and our adversaries have plundered(B) us.
11 You gave us up to be devoured like sheep(C)
    and have scattered us among the nations.(D)
12 You sold your people for a pittance,(E)
    gaining nothing from their sale.

13 You have made us a reproach(F) to our neighbors,(G)
    the scorn(H) and derision(I) of those around us.
14 You have made us a byword(J) among the nations;
    the peoples shake their heads(K) at us.
15 I live in disgrace(L) all day long,
    and my face is covered with shame(M)
16 at the taunts(N) of those who reproach and revile(O) me,
    because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.(P)

17 All this came upon us,
    though we had not forgotten(Q) you;
    we had not been false to your covenant.

10 The daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory. The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing; surrounded with variety.

11 Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: and forget thy people and thy father's house.

12 And the king shall greatly desire thy beauty; for he is the Lord thy God, and him they shall adore.

13 And the daughters of Tyre with gifts, yea, all the rich among the people, shall entreat thy countenance.

14 All the glory of the king's daughter is within in golden borders,

15 Clothed round about with varieties. After her shall virgins be brought to the king: her neighbours shall be brought to thee.

16 They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing: they shall be brought into the temple of the king.

17 Instead of thy fathers, sons are born to thee: thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.

10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.

11 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.

12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.

13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.

15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.

17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
