13. He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance like strangers have departed from me.
14. My kinsmen have forsaken me, and they that knew me, have forgotten me.
15. They that dwelt in my house, and my maidservants have counted me a stranger, and I have been like an alien in their eyes.
16. I called my servant, and he gave me no answer, I entreated him with my own mouth.
17. My wife hath abhorred my breath, and I entreated the children of my womb.
18. Even fools despise me; and when I gone from them, they spoke against me.
19. They that were sometime my counsellors, have abhorred me: and he whom I love most is turned against me.
20. The flesh being consumed. My bone hath cleaved to my skin, and nothing but lips are left about my teeth.
21. Have pity on me, have pity on me, at least you my friends, because the hand of the Lord hath touched me.
