15 My guests and my servantsconsider me a stranger,
16 and when I call my servants,they pay no attention.
17 My breath disgusts my wife;everyone in my familyturns away.
18 Young children can't stand me,and when I come near,they make fun.
19 My best friends and loved oneshave turned from me.
20 I am skin and bones—just barely alive.
21 My friends, I beg you for pity!God has made me his target.
