6. Let not those who wait and hope and look for You, O Lord of hosts, be put to shame through me; let not those who seek and inquire for and require You [as their vital necessity] be brought to confusion and dishonor through me, O God of Israel.
7. Because for Your sake I have borne taunt and reproach; confusion and shame have covered my face.
8. I have become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to my mother's children. [John 7:3-5.]
9. For zeal for Your house has eaten me up, and the reproaches and insults of those who reproach and insult You have fallen upon me. [John 2:17; Rom. 15:3.]
