4  ^cI am a laughingstock to my friends;

I, who called to God and he answered me,

^da just and blameless man, am a laughingstock.

6  ^x“He has made me a byword of the peoples,

and I am one before whom men spit.

1  ^u“But now they laugh at me,

men who are ^vyounger than I,

whose fathers I would have disdained

to set with the dogs of my flock.
