¹⁸ Thou hast put far from me lover and friend, Mine acquaintance `is' the place of darkness!

¹¹ My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood.

⁸ Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me, Thou hast made me an abomination to them, Shut up -- I go not forth.

¹¹ Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without -- fled from me.

¹² Come in do His troops together, And they raise up against me their way, And encamp round about my tent.

¹³ My brethren from me He hath put far off, And mine acquaintances surely Have been estranged from me.

¹⁴ Ceased have my neighbours And my familiar friends have forgotten me,

¹⁵ Sojourners of my house and my maids, For a stranger reckon me: An alien I have been in their eyes.
