7. Let not them be ashamed for me, who look for thee, O Lord, the Lord of hosts. Let them not be confounded on my account, who seek thee, O God of Israel.
8. Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
9. I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to the sons of my mother.
10. For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up: and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
11. And I covered my soul in fasting: and it was made a reproach to me.
12. And I made haircloth my garment: and I became a byword to them.
13. They that sat in the gate spoke against me: and they that drank wine made me their song.
