14 My family is gone,and my close friends have forgotten me.
15 My servants and maids consider me a stranger.I am like a foreigner to them.
16 When I call my servant, he doesn’t come;I have to plead with him!
17 My breath is repulsive to my wife.I am rejected by my own family.
18 Even young children despise me.When I stand to speak, they turn their backs on me.
19 My close friends detest me.Those I loved have turned against me.
20 I have been reduced to skin and bonesand have escaped death by the skin of my teeth.
