¹³ `And Jehovah hath given thee for head, and not for tail; and thou hast been only above, and art not beneath, for thou dost hearken unto the commands of Jehovah thy God, which I am commanding thee to-day, to keep and to do,

³⁷ and thou hast been for an astonishment, for a simile, and for a byword among all the peoples whither Jehovah doth lead thee.

¹⁵ Clapped hands at thee have all passing by the way, They have hissed -- and they shake the head At the daughter of Jerusalem: `Is this the city of which they said: The perfection of beauty, a joy to all the land?'

¹⁴ I have been a derision to all my people, Their song all the day.

¹⁴ They have wandered naked in out-places, They have been polluted with blood, Without `any' being able to touch their clothing,

¹⁵ `Turn aside -- unclean,' they called to them, `Turn aside, turn aside, touch not,' For they fled -- yea, they have wandered, They have said among nations: `They do not add to sojourn.'
