13  ^t“He has put my brothers far from me,

and ^uthose who knew me are wholly estranged from me.

14  My relatives have failed me,

my close friends have forgotten me.

11  Because of all my adversaries I have become a reproach,

especially to my neighbors,

and an object of dread to my ^eacquaintances;

those who see me in the street flee from me.

8  You have caused my ^wcompanions to shun me;

you have made me a horror¹ to them.

I am shut in so that I cannot escape;

18  You have caused my beloved and my friend to shun me;

my companions have become darkness.¹
