13. You are selling Your people cheaply— not even getting a great price for them.
14. You made us a taunt for our neighbors, a scorn and ridicule for those around us.
15. You have made us a byword among the nations, head-wagging among the peoples.
16. All day my disgrace is before me, and my face is covered with shame—
17. because of the sound of taunting and reviling from the face of a vengeful enemy.
18. All this came upon us, though we did not forget You, nor were we false to Your covenant.
19. Our heart did not turn back, nor did our steps stray from Your path.
20. Yet You crushed us in a place of jackals, covered us with the shadow of death.
21. If we had forgotten the Name of our God or stretched our hands to a foreign god,
22. would God not have discovered it? For He knows the secrets of the heart.
23. But for Your sake we are slain all day. We are counted as sheep for slaughter.
24. Awake! Why do you sleep, my Lord? Wake up! Do not cast us off forever.
25. Why do You hide Your face and forget our misery and oppression?
