| 27 | For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy. | Was not Israel your object of ridicule? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head. | For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for as often as thou speakest of him, thou waggest the head. |
