13 "God has caused my brothers to desert me. The people I used to know are now strangers to me.
14 My family has gone away. My friends have forgotten me.
15 My guests and my female servants think of me as a stranger. They look at me as if I were an outsider.
16 I send for my servant, but he doesn't answer. He doesn't come, even though I beg him to.
17 My wife can't stand the way my breath smells. My own relatives won't have anything to do with me.
18 Even little children laugh at me. When I appear, they make fun of me.
19 All of my close friends hate me. Those I love have turned against me.
