14 My relatives have left me. My friends have forgotten me.
15 My servant girls and visitors in my home look at me as if I am a stranger and a foreigner.
16 I call for my servant, but he does not answer. Even if I beg for help, he will not answer.
17 My wife hates the smell of my breath. My own brothers hate me.
18 Even little children make fun of me. When I get up, they say bad things about me.
19 All my close friends hate me. Even my loved ones have turned against me.
20 “I am so thin, my skin hangs loose on my bones. I have little life left in me.
