11
You have handed us over like sheep to be eaten and scattered us among the nations.
12
You sell your people for a pittance, you don't even profit on the sale.
13
You make us an object for our neighbors to mock, one of scorn and derision to those around us.
14
You make us a byword among the nations; the peoples jeer at us, shaking their heads.
15
All day long my disgrace is on my mind, and shame has covered my face
16
at the sound of those who revile and insult, at the sight of the enemy bent on revenge.
17
Though all this came on us, we did not forget you; we have not been false to your covenant;
18
Our hearts have not turned back, and our steps did not turn away from your path,
19
though you pressed us into a lair of jackals and covered us with death-dark gloom.
20
If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
21
wouldn't God have discovered this, since he knows the secrets of the heart?
