ESVEnglish Standard Version

You have made us the taunt of our neighbors,

the derision and scorn of those around us.

You have made us a byword among the nations,

a laughingstock among the peoples.

All day long my disgrace is before me,

and shame has covered my face

at the sound of the taunter and reviler,

at the sight of the enemy and the avenger.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

You have made us a reproach to our neighbors,

the scorn and derision of those around us.

You have made us a byword among the nations;

the peoples shake their heads at us.

I live in disgrace all day long,

and my face is covered with shame

at the taunts of those who reproach and revile me,

because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

You make us an object of reproach to our neighbors,

a source of mockery and ridicule to those around us.

You make us a joke among the nations,

a laughingstock among the peoples.

My disgrace is before me all day long,

and shame has covered my face,

because of the taunts of the scorner and reviler,

because of the enemy and avenger.

NLTNew Living Translation

You let our neighbors mock us.

We are an object of scorn and derision to those around us.

You have made us the butt of their jokes;

they shake their heads at us in scorn.

We can’t escape the constant humiliation;

shame is written across our faces.

All we hear are the taunts of our mockers.

All we see are our vengeful enemies.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

You have made us a taunt to our neighbors,

a derision and a scorn to those around us.

You have made us a byword among the nations,

a shaking of the head among the peoples.

All day long my disgrace is before me,

and the shame of my face covers me,

because of the voice of the taunter and the reviler,

because of the enemy and the avenger.

KJV 1900King James Version

Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours,

A scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

Thou makest us a byword among the heathen,

A shaking of the head among the people.

My confusion is continually before me,

And the shame of my face hath covered me,

For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth;

By reason of the enemy and avenger.
