⁶ And he set me up for a proverb of the peoples, And a wonder before them I am.

⁹ And now, their song I have been, And I am to them for a byword.

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

²⁷ Why hast thou hidden thyself to flee, and deceivest me, and hast not declared to me, and I send thee away with joy and with songs, with tabret and with harp,

⁷ then I have cut off Israel from the face of the ground that I have given to them, and the house that I have hallowed for My name I send away from My presence, and Israel hath been for a simile and for a byword among all the peoples;

¹² And harp, and psaltery, tabret, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And the work of Jehovah they behold not, Yea, the work of His hands they have not seen.
