We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored!Up to the present hour we are both hungry and thirsty; we are poorly clothed, roughly treated, homeless;we labor, working with our own hands.

Even now, we are like the world’s garbage, like the dirt everyone scrapes off their sandals.
