16 I called my servant, and he did not respond; I pleaded with him with my own mouth.
17 My wife has shuddered at my breath, and I have begged the sons of my loins.
18 Even the foolish have looked down on me, and, when I withdrew from them, they spoke ill of me.
19 Those who were sometimes my counselors, treat me like an abomination; and he whom I valued the most has turned against me.
20 Since my flesh has been consumed, my bone adheres to my skin, and only my lips have been left around my teeth.
