7Because of you I look like an idiot,

I walk around ashamed to show my face.

8My brothers shun me like a bum off the street;

My family treats me like an unwanted guest.

9I love you more than I can say.

Because I’m madly in love with you,

They blame me for everything they dislike about you.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

For it is for your sake that I have borne reproach,

that dishonor has covered my face.

I have become a stranger to my brothers,

an alien to my mother’s sons.

For zeal for your house has consumed me,

and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

For I endure scorn for your sake,

and shame covers my face.

I am a foreigner to my own family,

a stranger to my own mother’s children;

for zeal for your house consumes me,

and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

For I have endured insults because of you,

and shame has covered my face.

I have become a stranger to my brothers

and a foreigner to my mother’s sons

because zeal for your house has consumed me,

and the insults of those who insult you

have fallen on me.

NLTNew Living Translation

For I endure insults for your sake;

humiliation is written all over my face.

Even my own brothers pretend they don’t know me;

they treat me like a stranger.

Passion for your house has consumed me,

and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Because on account of you I have borne reproach;

disgrace has covered my face.

I have become a stranger to my brothers

and a foreigner to my mother’s sons,

because the zeal for your house has consumed me,

and the reproaches of those reproaching you have fallen on me.

KJV 1900King James Version

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach;

Shame hath covered my face.

I am become a stranger unto my brethren,

And an alien unto my mother’s children.

For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up;

And the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
