11. Ruthless witnesses come forward; they question me on things I know nothing about.
12. They repay me evil for good and leave me like one bereaved.
13. Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting. When my prayers returned to me unanswered,
14. I went about mourning as though for my friend or brother. I bowed my head in grief as though weeping for my mother.
15. But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee; assailants gathered against me without my knowledge. They slandered me without ceasing.
16. Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked; they gnashed their teeth at me.
