12. His entire army advances,then surrounds my tent.
13-14. God has turned relativesand friends against me,and I am forgotten.
15. My guests and my servantsconsider me a stranger,
16. and when I call my servants,they pay no attention.
17. My breath disgusts my wife;everyone in my familyturns away.
18. Young children can't stand me,and when I come near,they make fun.
19. My best friends and loved oneshave turned from me.
20. I am skin and bones—just barely alive.
21. My friends, I beg you for pity!God has made me his target.
22. Hasn't he already done enough?Why do you join the attack?
23. I wish that my wordscould be written down
24. or chiselled into rock.
