Psalms 38:12 BBE

¹⁰  My heart goes out in pain, my strength is wasting away; as for the light of my eyes, it is gone from me.

¹¹  My lovers and my friends keep away from my disease; my relations keep far away.

¹²  Those who have a desire to take my life put nets for me; those who are designing my destruction say evil things against me, all the day their minds are full of deceit.

¹³  But I kept my ears shut like a man without hearing; like a man without a voice, never opening his mouth.

¹⁴  So I was like a man whose ears are shut, and in whose mouth there are no sharp words.
