⁶ But he hath made me a byword of the people; And they spit in my face.

⁹ And now I am become their song, Yea, I am a byword unto them.

¹⁴ Thou makest us a byword among the nations, A shaking of the head among the peoples.

²⁷ Wherefore didst thou flee secretly, and steal away from me, and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tabret and with harp;

⁷ then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

¹² And the harp and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wine, are `in' their feasts; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.
