13
You make us a (A)reproach to our neighbors,
A scoffing and a (B)derision to those around us.
14
You make us (C)a byword among the nations,
A (a)(D)laughingstock among the peoples.
15
All day long my dishonor is before me
And (b)my (E)humiliation has overwhelmed me,
16
Because of the voice of him who (F)reproaches and reviles,
Because of the presence of the (G)enemy and the avenger.
