8 I am a foreigner to my own family,

a stranger to my own mother’s children;

9 for zeal for your house consumes me,

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

10 When I weep and fast,

I must endure scorn;

8 I have become a stranger to my brothers,

an alien to my mother’s sons.

9 For zeal for your house has consumed me,

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

10 When I wept and humbled my soul with fasting,

it became my reproach.

8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren,

And an alien unto my mother’s children.

9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up;

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

10 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting,

That was to my reproach.

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

they treat me like a stranger.

9 Passion for your house has consumed me,

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

10 When I weep and fast,

they scoff at me.

8 I have become a stranger to my brothers,

And an alien to my mother’s children;

9 Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up,

And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.

10 When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting,

That became my reproach.

8 I am like a stranger to my closest relatives

and a foreigner to my mother’s children.

9 My strong love for your Temple completely controls me.

When people insult you, it hurts me.

10 When I cry and fast,

they make fun of me.

8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren,

And an alien unto my mother’s children.

9 For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up;

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

10 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting,

That was to my reproach.

8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s sons; 9 For the zeal of thy house hath devoured me, and the reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me. 10 And I wept, my soul was fasting: that also was to my reproach; —

8 I have become a stranger to my ⸤own⸥ brothers, 

a foreigner to my mother’s sons. 

9 Indeed, devotion for your house has consumed me, 

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

10 I cried and fasted, but I was insulted for it. 

8 I have become a stranger to my brothers

and a foreigner to my mother’s sons

9 because zeal for Your house has consumed me,

and the insults of those who insult You

have fallen on me.

10 I mourned and fasted,

but it brought me insults.

8 I have become a stranger to my brothers

and a foreigner to my mother’s sons,

9 because the zeal for your house has consumed me,

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

10 When I wept in the fasting of my soul,

it became reproaches for me.

8 I’m a stranger to my brothers.

I’m an outsider to my own mother’s sons.

9 My great love for your house destroys me.

Those who make fun of you make fun of me also.

10 When I sob and go without eating,

they laugh at me.

8 I have become estranged from my brothers

And an alien to my mother’s sons.

9 For zeal for Your house has consumed me,

And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.

10 When I wept in my soul with fasting,

It became my reproach.
