Being Forsaken by friends » Instances of » David
I am ridiculed by all my adversaries and even by my neighbors. I am an object of dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street run from me. I am forgotten: gone from memory like a dead person-like broken pottery.
one who ate my bread,
has raised his heel against me.
You have made me repulsive to them.
I am shut in and cannot go out.
darkness is my only friend.
The Dead » Too soon forgotten
like a dead person—like broken pottery.
For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything. There is no longer a reward for them because the memory of them is forgotten.
