¹³ Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth^(A)
    and humbled myself with fasting.^(B)
When my prayers returned to me unanswered,
¹⁴     I went about mourning^(C)
    as though for my friend or brother.
I bowed my head in grief
    as though weeping for my mother.
¹⁵ But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee;^(D)
    assailants gathered against me without my knowledge.
    They slandered^(E) me without ceasing.
