11 Thou scatterest us in heathen lands, And givest us [to them] for meat:
12 And sellest us for nought, and dost No [wealth or] increase for us get.
13 Thou makest us a mere reproach To all our neighbours [that are] near; Derision and a scorn to them That round about us [dwelling] are.
13 Thou makest us a meer reproach To all our neighbours [that are] near; Derision and a scorn to them That round about us [dwelling] are.
14 Among the heathen thou dost us A jest and [very] by-word make; The people in contempt and spite, At us [cast down] their heads do shake.
14 Among the heathen thou dost us A jeast and [very] by-word make; The people in contempt and spight, At us [cast down] their heads do shake.
