13. You make us an object of reproach to our neighbors,a source of mockery and ridicule to those around us.
14. You make us a joke among the nations,a laughingstock among the peoples.
15. My disgrace is before me all day long,and shame has covered my face,
16. because of the voice of the scorner and reviler,because of the enemy and avenger.
17. All this has happened to us,but we have not forgotten Youor betrayed Your covenant.
