13 “He has aremoved my brothers far from me,
And my bacquaintances are completely estranged from me.
14 My relatives have failed,
And my afamiliar friends have forgotten me.
15 Those who sojourn in my house and my maidservants count me a stranger.
I am a foreigner in their sight.
16 I call to my servant, but he does not answer;
I have to implore him with my mouth.
17 My breath is offensive to my wife,
And I am loathsome to my own brothers.
18 Even young children reject me;
I rise up, and they speak against me.
19 All the men of my acounsel abhor me,
And those I love have turned against me.
20 My abone clings to my skin and my flesh,
And I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.
21 Pity me, pity me, O you my friends,
For the ahand of God has smitten me.
22 Why do you apersecute me as God does,
And are not satisfied with my flesh?
