Being Forsaken by friends » Instances of » David
Because of all my enemies, people disdain me; my neighbors are appalled by my suffering -- those who know me are horrified by my condition; those who see me in the street run away from me. I am forgotten, like a dead man no one thinks about; I am regarded as worthless, like a broken jar.
Even my close friend whom I trusted, he who shared meals with me, has turned against me.
You cause those who know me to keep their distance; you make me an appalling sight to them. I am trapped and cannot get free.
You cause my friends and neighbors to keep their distance; those who know me leave me alone in the darkness.
