12. You sold your people for a pittance;you did not ask a high price for them.
13. You made us an object of disdain to our neighbors;those who live on our borders taunt and insult us.
14. You made us an object of ridicule among the nations;foreigners treat us with contempt.
15. All day long I feel humiliatedand am overwhelmed with shame,
16. before the vindictive enemywho ridicules and insults me.
17. All this has happened to us, even though we have not rejected youor violated your covenant with us.
