16. To my servant I have called, And he doth not answer, With my mouth I make supplication to him.
17. My spirit is strange to my wife, And my favours to the sons of my [mother's] womb.
18. Also sucklings have despised me, I rise, and they speak against me.
19. Abominate me do all the men of my counsel, And those I have loved, Have been turned against me.
20. To my skin and to my flesh Cleaved hath my bone, And I deliver myself with the skin of my teeth.
