¹² For it is not an enemy who taunts me—
    then I could bear it;
it is not an adversary who ^(A)deals insolently with me—
    then I could hide from him.

    my companion, my familiar friend.

²⁰ My companion^{[a] (A)}stretched out his hand against his friends;
    he violated his covenant.

¹³ “He has put my ^(A)brothers far from me,
    and ^(B)those who knew me are wholly estranged from me.
¹⁴ My relatives ^(C)have failed me,
    my close ^(D)friends have forgotten me.

^4 (A)Let everyone beware of his neighbor,
    and put no trust in any brother,
for every ^(B)brother is a deceiver,
    and every neighbor ^(C)goes about as a slanderer.
