uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

תְּשִׂימֵ֣⁠נוּ חֶ֭רְפָּה לִ⁠שְׁכֵנֵ֑י⁠נוּ לַ֥עַג וָ֝⁠קֶ֗לֶס לִ⁠סְבִיבוֹתֵֽי⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: sold people_of,your for,not profit and=not demanding by,price(s)_of,their )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. Translate them according to the decisions your team has made regarding translating parallelism in Hebrew poetry. See the [book introduction](../front/intro.md) for more information. Alternate translation: “You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, and a contempt and a scorn to those around us” or “You have caused those who live in the countries around us to reproach us”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

לַ֥עַג וָ֝⁠קֶ֗לֶס לִ⁠סְבִיבוֹתֵֽי⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: sold people_of,your for,not profit and=not demanding by,price(s)_of,their )

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “you have made us a contempt and a scorn to those around us”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חֶ֭רְפָּה לִ⁠שְׁכֵנֵ֑י⁠נוּ לַ֥עַג וָ֝⁠קֶ֗לֶס

(Some words not found in UHB: sold people_of,your for,not profit and=not demanding by,price(s)_of,their )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the ideas of reproach, contempt, or scorn you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “You have caused our enemies to reproach us, we are contemptuous and scornful”
