Psalm 35:13-15

Easy-to-Read Version

¹³ When they were sick, I was sad and wore sackcloth.
    I went without eating to show my sorrow.
    (May my prayers for them not be answered!)
¹⁴ I mourned for them as I would for a friend or a brother.
    I bowed low with sadness, crying as I would for my own mother.
¹⁵ But when I had troubles, they laughed at me.
    They were not really friends.
I was surrounded and attacked
    by people I didn’t even know.
