9–12But now you’ve walked off and left us,

you’ve disgraced us and won’t fight for us.

You made us turn tail and run;

those who hate us have cleaned us out.

You delivered us as sheep to the butcher,

you scattered us to the four winds.

You sold your people at a discount—

you made nothing on the sale.

13–16You made people on the street,

urchins, poke fun and call us names.

You made us a joke among the godless,

a cheap joke among the rabble.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

But you have rejected us and disgraced us

and have not gone out with our armies.

You have made us turn back from the foe,

and those who hate us have gotten spoil.

You have made us like sheep for slaughter

and have scattered us among the nations.

You have sold your people for a trifle,

demanding no high price for them.

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.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

But now you have rejected and humbled us;

you no longer go out with our armies.

You made us retreat before the enemy,

and our adversaries have plundered us.

You gave us up to be devoured like sheep

and have scattered us among the nations.

You sold your people for a pittance,

gaining nothing from their sale.

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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

But you have rejected and humiliated us;

you do not march out with our armies.

You make us retreat from the foe,

and those who hate us

have taken plunder for themselves.

You hand us over to be eaten like sheep

and scatter us among the nations.

You sell your people for nothing;

you make no profit from selling them.

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.

NLTNew Living Translation

But now you have tossed us aside in dishonor.

You no longer lead our armies to battle.

You make us retreat from our enemies

and allow those who hate us to plunder our land.

You have butchered us like sheep

and scattered us among the nations.

You sold your precious people for a pittance,

making nothing on the sale.

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Surely you have rejected and disgraced us,

and have not gone out with our armies.

You have caused us to pull back from the enemy,

and so those who hate us have plundered for themselves.

You have given us as sheep for food,

and among the nations you have scattered us.

You have sold your people cheaply,

and did not profit by their price.

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame;

And goest not forth with our armies.

Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy:

And they which hate us spoil for themselves.

Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat;

And hast scattered us among the heathen.

Thou sellest thy people for nought,

And dost not increase thy wealth by their price.

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.
