11Because of all my enemies I have become a reproach, especially to my neighbors, and a terror to my acquaintances; those who see me in public avoid me.

12I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; I have become like a vessel that is lost.

13For I have heard the slander of many—terror on every side!—as they conspired together against me, plotting to take my life.
