My spirit is strange to my wife, and my loving-commitment to the children of my own body.
My breath is strange to my wife, Though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
I am repulsive to my wife and loathsome to the children of my own mother.
My breath is strange to my wife, And my supplication to the children of mine own mother.
My breath stinks to my wife; I am odious to my children.
My wife has shuddered at my breath, and I have begged the sons of my loins.
My wife hath abhorred my breath, and I entreated the children of my womb.
“My spirit has been broken, my days have been extinguished, burial-sites are for me.
I have called my servant, but he gives no answer – I have to beg him with my mouth.
Even young children have scorned me. I rise, and they speak against me.
