Lamentations 3:14

The Scriptures 1998

I have been a mockery to all my people, Their mocking song all the day.

See the chapter Copy

You make us a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a mockery to those round about us.

We have become a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a mockery to those who are around us.

“And was not Yisra’ĕ

Look at their sitting down and their rising up; I am their song.
