12. His troops come as oneand construct their siege ramp against me;they camp around my tent.
13. He has distanced my family from me;my acquaintances are also alienated from me.
14. My visitors have ceased;those who know me have forgotten me.
15. My guests and female servants think me a stranger;I’m a foreigner in their sight.
16. I call my servant, and he doesn’t answer;I myself must beg him.
17. My breath stinks to my wife;I am odious to my children.
18. Even the young despise me;I get up, and they rail against me.
19. All my closest friends despise me;the ones I have loved turn against me.
20. My bones cling to my skin and flesh;I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
