I am a joke to everyone— no one ever stops making fun of me.
Our enemies had brought us here as their prisoners, and now they wanted us to sing and entertain them. They insulted us and shouted, “Sing about Zion!”
You made us look foolish to our neighbours, and people who live nearby insult us and sneer.
Every nation around us sneers and makes fun.
You tricked me, LORD, and I was really fooled. You are stronger than I am, and you have defeated me. People never stop sneering and insulting me.
You made fun of my people and treated them like criminals caught in the act.
No matter what they are doing, they keep on mocking me.
