13
"He has put my family far from me, and my acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.
14
My relatives and my close friends have failed me;
15
the guests in my house have forgotten me; my serving girls count me as a stranger; I have become an alien in their eyes.
16
I call to my servant, but he gives me no answer; I must myself plead with him.
17
My breath is repulsive to my wife; I am loathsome to my own family.
18
Even young children despise me; when I rise, they talk against me.
19
All my intimate friends abhor me, and those whom I loved have turned against me.
