17. My wife hates my breath.My own family hates me.
18. Even the little boys hate me.When I leave, they talk about me.
19. All my close friends hate me.Even those I love have turned against me.
20. I am nothing but skin and bones.I have escaped with only the skin of my teeth.
21. Pity me, my friends. Pity me!The hand of God has hit me.
22. Why do you chase me as God does?Haven’t you had enough of hurting my body?
23. “How I wish my words were written down.I wish they were written on a scroll.
