I have become (A)a stranger to my brothers,
    an alien to my mother's sons.

For (B)zeal for your house has consumed me,
    and (C)the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
10 When I wept and humbled[a] my soul with fasting,
    it became my reproach.
11 When I made (D)sackcloth my clothing,
    I became (E)a byword to them.
12 I am the talk of those who (F)sit in the gate,
    and the drunkards make (G)songs about me.
