Being Forsaken by friends » Instances of » David
I have become an object of reproach to all my enemies, especially to my neighbors. I have become an object of fear to my friends, and whoever sees me outside runs away from me. Like a dead man, I am forgotten in their thoughts like broken pottery.
As for my best friend, the one in whom I trusted, the one who ate my bread, even he has insulted me!
You caused my acquaintances to shun me; you make me extremely abhorrent to them. Restrained, I am unable to go out.
You caused my friend and neighbor to shun me; and my acquaintances are confused. An instruction. By Ethan, the Ezrahite
The Dead » Too soon forgotten
Like a dead man, I am forgotten in their thoughts like broken pottery.
At least the living know they will die, but the dead know nothing; they no longer have a reward, since memory about them has been forgotten.
