9  For ^yzeal for your house has consumed me,

and ^zthe reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.

10  When I wept and humbled¹ my soul with ^afasting,

it became my reproach.

11  When I made sackcloth my clothing,

I became a byword to them.

12  I am the talk of those who sit in the gate,

and the drunkards make ^bsongs about me.
