16 I called my servant, and he gave [me] no answer; I entreated him with my mouth.
17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the children's [sake] of my own body.
18 Yes, young children despised me; I arose, and they spoke against me.
19 All my intimate friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped with the skin of my teeth.
