12 His troops come together
And build up their road against me;
They encamp all around my tent.
13 “He
a has removed my brothers far from me,
And my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.
14 My relatives have failed,
And my close friends have forgotten me.
15 Those who dwell in my house, and my maidservants,
Count me as a stranger;
I am an alien in their sight.
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
1 repulsive to the children of my own body.
18 Even
ayoung children despise me;
I arise, and they speak against me.
19 aAll my close friends abhor me,
And those whom I love have turned against me.
