8 He walled up my path so I can’t passand put darkness on my trail,
9 stripped my honor from me,removed the crown from my head,
10 tore me down completely so that I’ll die, and uprooted my hope like a tree.
11 His anger burns against me;he considers me his enemy.
12 His troops come as oneand construct their siege ramp against me;they camp around my tent.
13 He has distanced my family from me;my acquaintances are also alienated from me.
14 My visitors have ceased;those who know me have forgotten me.
