The writer speaks of God's rejection of Israel as if he were discarding an unwanted piece of clothing. AT: "rejected us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
The writer compares the Israelites to sheep that people kill and eat. As sheep are helpless before those who kill them, so the Israelites are helpless before their enemies. This can be translated in active form. AT: "You have allowed our enemies to kill us like they would kill a sheep and eat it" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
