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.
15 My great confusion and disgrace I as before me [always] see; Of my reproached countenance The shame hath [daily] covered me.
16 Because of the reproachers voice, Which [of thee] speaketh blasphemy, Because of the revenging rage Of this our [cruel] enemy.
