“And now I have become their song, I am a byword to them.
I am a laughingstock to my friends; I, who called upon God and he answered me, a just and blameless man, am a laughingstock.
“He has made me a byword of the peoples, and I am one before whom men spit.
A senseless, a disreputable brood, they have been whipped out of the land.
Thou hast made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived; thou art stronger than I, and thou hast prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all the day; every one mocks me.
I have become the laughingstock of all peoples, the burden of their songs all day long.
“All our enemies rail against us;
Behold their sitting and their rising; I am the burden of their songs.
