10. He batters me from every side.He uproots my hopeand leaves me to wither and die.
11. God is angry and rages against me;he treats me like his worst enemy.
12. He sends his army to attack me;they dig trenches and lay siege to my tent.
13. God has made my own family forsake me;I am a stranger to those who knew me;
14. my relatives and friends are gone.
15. Those who were guests in my house have forgotten me;my servant women treat me like a stranger and a foreigner.
16. When I call a servant, he doesn't answer —even when I beg him to help me.
17. My wife can't stand the smell of my breath,and my own brothers won't come near me.
18. Children despise me and laugh when they see me.
19. My closest friends look at me with disgust;those I loved most have turned against me.
