14As if a friend, as if my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.


In Context

11 Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.

12 They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,

13 And I — in their sickness my clothing is sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.

14 As if a friend, as if my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.

15 And — in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;

16 With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.
