"Thou hast made us an offscouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples. "
— Lamentations 3:45, American Standard Version
“Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.”
“You have made us an off-scouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.”
“You make us like filthy scum in the estimation of the nations.”
“Samech. Thou hast made me as an outcast, and refuse in the midst of the people.”
“You have made us like waste and that for which there is no use, among the peoples.”
“Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.”
We have transgressed and have rebelled; thou hast not pardoned.
Thou hast covered with anger and pursued us; thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
Thou hast made us an offscouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
Fear and the pit are come upon us, devastation and destruction.
Mine eye runneth down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
