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 My family has withdrawn from me,my friends are wholly estranged.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.
17. My breath is abhorrent to my wife;I am loathsome to my very children.
18. Even young children despise me;when I appear, they speak against me.
19. All my intimate friends hold me in horror;those whom I loved have turned against me!
20. My bones cling to my skin,and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
