6. Let those who wait for you not be put to shame because of me, O Lord Yahweh of hosts. Let those who seek you not be disgraced because of me, O God of Israel.
7. Because on account of you I have borne reproach; disgrace has covered my face.
8. I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother’s sons,
9. because the zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those reproaching you have fallen on me.
10. When I wept in the fasting of my soul, it became reproaches for me.
11. When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became for them a byword.
12. Those sitting at the gate talk about me as also the songs of the drunkards.
