12. I am devastatedbecause they pay me back with evil instead of good.
13. But when they were sick, I wore sackcloth.I humbled myself with fasting.When my prayer returned unanswered,
14. I walked around as if I were mourning for my friend or my brother.I was bent over as if I were mourning for my mother.
15. Yet, when I stumbled,they rejoiced and gathered together.They gathered together against me.Unknown attackers tore me apart without stopping.
16. With crude and abusive mockers,they grit their teeth at me.
