9. He has stripped me of my honorand has taken the crown off my head.
10. He tears me down on every side until I perish;he uproots my hope like one uproots a tree.
11. Thus his anger burns against me,and he considers me among his enemies.
12. His troops advance together;they throw up a siege ramp against me,and they camp around my tent.
13. “He has put my relatives far from me;my acquaintances only turn away from me.
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.
