6. Do not let those who put their hope in Yoube disgraced because of me,Lord God of Hosts;do not let those who seek Yoube humiliated because of me,God of Israel.
7. For I have endured insults because of You,and shame has covered my face.
8. I have become a stranger to my brothersand a foreigner to my mother’s sons

10. I mourned and fasted,but it brought me insults.
11. I wore sackcloth as my clothing,and I was a joke to them.
