13You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.

14You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

15All day long my disgrace is before me, and the shame of my face has covered me.

16because of the voice of one who taunts and reviles, because of the enemy and the avenger.
