Psalm 44:11-12

You gave us up to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations. You sold your people for a pittance, gaining nothing from their sale. 

You gave us up to be devoured like sheep 
Psalm 44:22  Yet for your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
Jeremiah 12:3  Yet you know me, LORD; you see me and test my thoughts about you. Drag them (the wicked) off like sheep to be butchered! Set them apart for the day of slaughter!

and have scattered us among the nations 
Leviticus 26:33  " 'I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out my sword and pursue you. Your land will be laid waste, and your cities will lie in ruins.' "
Psalm 9:11  Sing the praises of the LORD, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done.
Ezekiel 6:8  " 'But I will spare some, for some of you will escape the sword when you are scattered among the lands and nations.' "
Zechariah 2:6  "Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north," declares the LORD, "for I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven," declares the LORD.

You sold your people for a pittance 
Deuteronomy 32:30  How could one man chase a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?
Isaiah 52:3  For this is what the LORD says: "You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed."
Jeremiah 15:13  "Your wealth and your treasures I will give as plunder, without charge, because of all your sins throughout your country."
Jeremiah 50:1-2  This the word the LORD spoke through Jeremiah the prophet concerning Babylon and the land of the Babylonians: "Announce and proclaim among the nations, lift up a banner and proclaim it; keep nothing back, but say, 'Babylon will be captured; Bel will be put to shame, Marduk filled with terror. Her images will be put to shame and her idols filled with terror.' "
Jeremiah 52:3  It was because of the LORD's anger that all this happened to Jerusalem and Judah, and in the end he thrust them from his presence. Now Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
