8 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. |
9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. |
10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree. |
11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies. |
12 His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle. |
13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. |
14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. |
15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. |
16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth. |
17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body. |
18 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me. |
19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me. |
