6. Know then that it is God who has dealt unfairly with me,and compassed me round with his net.
7. If I cry out “Violence!” I am not answered.I shout for help, but there is no justice.
8. He has barred my way and I cannot pass;veiled my path in darkness;
9. He has stripped me of my glory,taken the diadem from my brow.
10. He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone;he has uprooted my hope like a tree.
11. He has kindled his wrath against me;he counts me one of his enemies.
12. His troops advance as one;they build up their road to attack me,encamp around my tent.
13. My family has withdrawn from me,my friends are wholly estranged.
14. My relatives and companions neglect me,my guests have forgotten me.
15. Even my maidservants consider me a stranger;I am a foreigner in their sight.
16. I call my servant, but he gives no answer,though I plead aloud with him.
