11. Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for food; and hast scattered us among the heathen.
12. Thou sellest thy people for naught, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.
13. Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a derision to them that are around us.
14. Thou makest us a by-word among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
15. My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
16. For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
17. All this is come upon us; yet we have not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
18. Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
19. Though thou hast severely broke us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shades of death.
20. If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
21. Will not God search out this? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22. Yes, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23. Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.
