18 Aun los muchachos me menospreciaron: en levantándome, hablaban contra mí.

19 Todos mis confidentes me aborrecieron; y los que yo amaba, se tornaron contra mí.

20 Mi cuero y mi carne se pegaron á mis huesos; y he escapado con la piel de mis dientes.

21 Oh vosotros mis amigos, tened compasión de mí, tened compasión de mí; porque la mano de Dios me ha tocado.

22 ¿Por qué me perseguís como Dios, y no os hartáis de mis carnes?
