7. Behold, I will cry out, enduring violence, and no one will hear. I will announce loudly, but there is no one who may judge.
8. He has hemmed in my path, and I cannot pass; he has added darkness to my difficult path.
9. He has plundered me of my glory, and he has stolen the crown from my head.
10. He has destroyed me on every side, and I am lost, and, like an uprooted tree, he has taken away my hope.
11. His fury has raged against me, and in this way he has treated me like his enemy.
12. His troops have gathered together, and they have made their way to me, and they have besieged my tabernacle all around.
13. He has put my brothers far from me, and my friends have withdrawn from me like strangers.
14. My kinsmen have forsaken me, and those who knew me, have forgotten me.
15. The inhabitants of my house and my maidservants treat me just as if I were a stranger, and I have been like an sojourner in their eyes.
16. I called my servant, and he did not respond; I pleaded with him with my own mouth.
