9 “And now those young men mock me in song;

I have become a byword among them.

9 And now am I their song,

Yea, I am their byword.

9 “And now they mock me with vulgar songs!

They taunt me!

9 “And now I am their taunting song;

Yes, I am their byword.

9 “Now they make fun of me with songs;

my name is a joke among them.

9 And now I am become their song,

Yea, I am a byword unto them.

9 And now I am their song, yea, I am their byword.

9 “And now they make fun of me with songs. 

I have become a joke to them. 

9 Now I am mocked by their songs;

I have become an object of scorn to them.

9 “And now they mock me in song;

I am a byword to them.

9 “But now I am their mocking song,

and I have become a byword for them.

9 “Now their children laugh at me.

They make fun of me with their songs.

9 “And now I have become their taunt,

I have even become a byword to them.
