¹³ When evil things are said about us we give gentle answers: we are made as the unclean things of the world, as that for which no one has any use, even till now.

¹³ The Lord will make you the head and not the tail; and you will ever have the highest place, if you give ear to the orders of the Lord your God which I give you today, to keep and to do them;

³⁷ And you will become a wonder and a name of shame among all the nations where the Lord will take you.

⁴⁴ He will let you have his wealth at interest, and will have no need of yours: he will be the head and you the tail.

¹⁵ All who go by make a noise with their hands at you; they make hisses, shaking their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, and saying, Is this the town which was the crown of everything beautiful, the joy of all the earth?

¹⁴ They are wandering like blind men in the streets, they are made unclean with blood, so that their robes may not be touched by men.
