Quotes about Ostracized

They were banished from among men, shouted down like thieves,

And now they mock me in song; I have become a byword among them.

They abhor me and keep far from me; they do not hesitate to spit in my face.

Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, and among my neighbors even more. I am dreaded by my friends—they flee when they see me on the street.

We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those around us.
