“He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.”
“"But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.”
“He has made me a byword to people, I am the one in whose face they spit.”
“He hath made me as it were a byword of the people, and I am an example before them.”
“He has made me a word of shame to the peoples; I have become a mark for their sport.”
“He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.”
Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself; Who is there that will strike hands with me?
For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: Therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
He that denounceth his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.
But he hath made me a byword of the people; And they spit in my face.
Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, And all my members are as a shadow.
Upright men shall be astonished at this, And the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.
Yet shall the righteous hold on his way, And he that hath clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger.
