5. Those who hate me without cause have been multiplied beyond the hairs of my head. My enemies, who persecuted me unjustly, have been strengthened. Then I was required to pay for what I did not take.
6. O God, you know my foolishness, and my offenses have not been hidden from you.
7. Let those who wait for you, O Lord, the Lord of hosts, not be shamed in me. Let those who seek you, O God of Israel, not be confounded over me.
8. For because of you, I have endured reproach; confusion has covered my face.
9. I have become a stranger to my brothers and a sojourner to the sons of my mother.
10. For zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproached you have fallen upon me.
11. And I covered my soul with fasting, and it has become a reproach to me.
12. And I put on a haircloth as my garment, and I became a parable to them.
