Lexicon :: Strong's H3639 - kᵊlimmâ

I have heard a rebuke that insults me,

and my understanding[fn] makes me reply.

How long, exalted ones,[fn] will my honor be insulted?

How long will you love what is worthless

and pursue a lie?Selah

Let those who rejoice at my misfortune

be disgraced and humiliated;

let those who exalt themselves over me

be clothed with shame and reproach.

My disgrace is before me all day long,

and shame has covered my face,

For I have endured insults because of you,

and shame has covered my face.

You know the insults I endure —

my shame and disgrace.

You are aware of all my adversaries.

May my adversaries be disgraced and destroyed;

may those who intend to harm me

be covered with disgrace and humiliation.

My accusers will be clothed with disgrace;

they will wear their shame like a cloak.

The one who gives an answer before he listens —

this is foolishness and disgrace for him.

But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame,

and refuge in Egypt’s shadow your humiliation.

All of them are put to shame, even humiliated;

the makers of idols go in humiliation together.

I gave my back to those who beat me,

and my cheeks to those who tore out my beard.

I did not hide my face from scorn and spitting.

In place of your shame, you will have a double portion;

in place of disgrace, they will rejoice over their share.

So they will possess double in their land,

and eternal joy will be theirs.

“Let us lie down in our shame;

let our disgrace cover us.

We have sinned against the LORD our God,

both we and our ancestors,

from the time of our youth even to this day.

We have not obeyed the LORD our God.”

But the LORD is with me like a violent warrior.

Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and not prevail.

Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly shamed,

an everlasting humiliation that will never be forgotten.

We are ashamed

because we have heard insults.

Humiliation covers our faces

because foreigners have entered

the holy places of the LORD’s temple.

“You must also bear your disgrace, since you have helped your sisters out.[fn] For they appear more righteous than you because of your sins, which you committed more detestably than they did. So you also, be ashamed and bear your disgrace, since you have made your sisters appear righteous.

“Elam is there

with all her hordes around her grave.

All of them are slain, fallen by the sword —

who once spread their terror

in the land of the living.

They bear their disgrace

with those who descend to the Pit.

“All the leaders of the north

and all the Sidonians are there.

They went down in shame with the slain,

despite the terror their strength inspired.

They lie down uncircumcised

with those slain by the sword.

They bear their disgrace

with those who descend to the Pit.

“I will establish for them a place renowned for its agriculture,[fn] and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land. They will no longer endure the insults of the nations.

I will no longer allow the insults of the nations to be heard against you, and you will not have to endure the reproach of the peoples anymore; you will no longer cause your nation to stumble.[fn] This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.’ ”
