¹³ You have made us a reproach^(A) to our neighbors,^(B)
    the scorn^(C) and derision^(D) of those around us.
¹⁴ You have made us a byword^(E) among the nations;
    the peoples shake their heads^(F) at us.
¹⁵ I live in disgrace^(G) all day long,
    and my face is covered with shame^(H)
16 at the taunts^(I) of those who reproach and revile^(J) me,
    because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.^(K)

¹⁷ All this came upon us,
    though we had not forgotten^(L) you;
    we had not been false to your covenant.
¹⁸ Our hearts had not turned^(M) back;
    our feet had not strayed from your path.
