14. My kinsmen have failed me;my friends have forgotten me.
15. My guests and my servant girls consider me a stranger;I am a foreigner in their eyes.
16. I summon my servant, but he does not respond,even though I implore him with my own mouth.
17. My breath is repulsive to my wife;I am loathsome to my brothers.
18. Even youngsters have scorned me;when I get up, they scoff at me.
19. All my closest friends detest me;and those whom I love have turned against me.
20. My bones stick to my skin and my flesh;I have escaped alive with only the skin of my teeth.
