Why?

⁷ “Though I cry, ‘Violence!’ I get no response;
though I call for help, there is no justice.
⁸ He has blocked my way so I cannot pass;
he has shrouded my paths in darkness.
⁹ He has stripped me of my honor
and removed the crown from my head.
¹⁰ He tears me down on every side till I am gone;
he uproots my hope like a tree.
¹¹ His anger burns against me;
he counts me among his enemies.
¹² His troops advance in force;
they build a siege ramp against me
and encamp around my tent.

¹³ “He has alienated my family from me;
my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.
¹⁴ My relatives have gone away;
my closest friends have forgotten me.
¹⁵ My guests and my female servants count me a foreigner;
they look on me as on a stranger.
¹⁶ I summon my servant, but he does not answer,
though I beg him with my own mouth.
¹⁷ My breath is offensive to my wife;
I am loathsome to my own family.
¹⁸ Even the little boys scorn me;
when I appear, they ridicule me.
¹⁹ All my intimate friends detest me;
those I love have turned against me.
