how much more do his friends avoid him –

he pursues them with words, but they do not respond.

6:21 For now you have become like these streams that are no help;

you see a terror, and are afraid.

and from your fortune make gifts in my favor’?

6:23 Or ‘Deliver me from the enemy’s power,

and from the hand of tyrants ransom me’?
