13. Thou mak'st us a reproach to beunto our neighbours near;Derision and a scorn to themthat round about us are.
14. A by-word also thou dost usamong the heathen make;The people, in contempt and spite,at us their heads do shake.
15. Before me my confusioncontinually abides;And of my bashful countenancethe shame me ever hides:
16. For voice of him that doth reproach,and speaketh blasphemy;By reason of th' avenging foe,and cruel enemy.
