12. You sold your own people for a small priceas though they had little value.
13. Our neighbours see what you did to us,and they mock us and laugh at us.
14. You have made us an object of contempt among the nations;they shake their heads at us in scorn.
15. I am always in disgrace;I am covered with shame
16. from hearing the sneers and insultsof my enemies and those who hate me.
17. All this has happened to us,even though we have not forgotten youor broken the covenant you made with us.
18. We have not been disloyal to you;we have not disobeyed your commands.
