Acquaintance

“He has put my brothers far from me,
And my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.

My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague;
And my neighbors stand far away.

Lover and friend You have placed far from me;
My familiar friends are in darkness.

Look to the right [the point of attack] and see;
For there is no one who has regard for me [to act in my favor].
Escape has failed me and I have nowhere to run;
No one cares about my life.

The women
