15. They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger; I am an alien in their sight.
16. I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, Though I entreat him with my mouth.
17. My breath is strange to my wife, And my supplication to the children of mine own mother.
18. Even young children despise me; If I arise, they speak against me.
19. All my familiar friends abhor me, And they whom I loved are turned against me.
20. My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, And I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
