¹³ Yet when they were sick, I put on ·clothes of sadness [sackcloth; burlap]
    and showed my sorrow by fasting.
But my prayers ·were not answered [^Lturned back on my bosom].
¹⁴     I acted as if they were my ·friends [or neighbors] or brothers.
I ·bowed in sadness as if I were crying [went around as if mourning] for my mother.
¹⁵ But when I ·was in trouble [stumbled], they gathered and laughed;
    they gathered to attack before I knew it.
    They ·insulted [tore at] me without stopping.
