8 He has blocked my way so that I cannot pass through;He has veiled my paths with darkness.
9 He has stripped me of my honorand removed the crown from my head.
10 He tears me down on every side so that I am ruined. He uproots my hope like a tree.
11 His anger burns against me,and He regards me as one of His enemies.
12 His troops advance together;they construct a ramp against meand camp around my tent.
13 He has removed my brothers from me;my acquaintances have abandoned me.
14 My relatives stop coming by,and my close friends have forgotten me.
