14 I would wander around like I was grieving a friend or a brother.
    I was weighed down, sad, like I was a mother in mourning.
15 But when I stumbled, they celebrated and gathered together—
    they gathered together against me!

16 They ridiculed me over and over again,

    grinding their teeth at me.

14     I went about mourning(A)
    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;(B)
    assailants gathered against me without my knowledge.
    They slandered(C) me without ceasing.
16 Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked;[a](D)
    they gnashed their teeth(E) at me.
