13 He has put my brothers far from me, and my friends have withdrawn from me like strangers.
14 My kinsmen have forsaken me, and those who knew me, have forgotten me.
15 The inhabitants of my house and my maidservants treat me just as if I were a stranger, and I have been like an sojourner in their eyes.
16 I called my servant, and he did not respond; I pleaded with him with my own mouth.
17 My wife has shuddered at my breath, and I have begged the sons of my loins.
18 Even the foolish have looked down on me, and, when I withdrew from them, they spoke ill of me.
19 Those who were sometime my counselors, treat me like an abomination; and he whom I valued the most has turned against me.
