16. I call my servant, but he gives no answer;I beg him with my mouth.
17. My breath is offensive to my wife,And I am repulsive to the children of my own body.
18. Even young children despise me;I arise, and they speak against me.
19. All my close friends abhor me,And those whom I love have turned against me.
20. My bone clings to my skin and to my flesh,And I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
