10. He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; and uproots my expectancy like a tree.
11. And He kindled His wrath against me, and He counts me as one of His enemies.
12. His companies come together, and they cast up their way against me, and encamp all around my tent.
13. He has removed my brothers far away from me, and my friends are completely estranged from me.
14. My near ones have fallen away, and my close friends have forgotten me.
15. The guests in my house, and my female servants, reckon me for a stranger – I am a foreigner in their eyes.
16. I have called my servant, but he gives no answer – I have to beg him with my mouth.
17. My spirit is strange to my wife, and my kindness to the children of my own body.
18. Even young children have scorned me. I rise, and they speak against me.
