7. Let those who wait in hope for you, Lord of hosts,not be shamed because of me.Let those who seek you, God of Israel,not be disgraced because of me.
8. For it is on your account I bear insult,that disgrace covers my face.
9. I have become an outcast to my kindred,a stranger to my mother’s children.
10. Because zeal for your house has consumed me,I am scorned by those who scorn you.
11. When I humbled my spirit with fasting,this led only to scorn.
