7Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord of hosts, be ashamed on my account: let not them that seek thee, be ashamed on my account, O God of Israel.
8For I have suffered reproach for thy sake; shame has covered my face.
9I became strange to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's children.
10For the zeal of thine house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
11And I bowed down my soul with fasting, and that was made my reproach.
12And I put on sackcloth for my covering; and I became a proverb to them.
