Berean Standard Bible

I wept and fasted, but it brought me reproach.

Context

8I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother’s sons, 9because zeal for Your house has consumed me,* and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.* 10I wept and fasted, but it brought me reproach. 11I made sackcloth my clothing, and I was sport to them. 12Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of drunkards.
