10 For my life is spent with (A)sorrow
And my years with sighing;
My (B)strength has failed because of my iniquity,
And (C)my [a]body has wasted away.
11 Because of all my adversaries, I have become a (D)reproach,
Especially to my (E)neighbors,
And an object of dread to my acquaintances;
Those who see me in the street flee from me.
12 I am (F)forgotten as a dead man, out of mind;
I am like a broken vessel.

10 My life is consumed by anguish(A)
    and my years by groaning;(B)
my strength fails(C) because of my affliction,[a](D)
    and my bones grow weak.(E)
11 Because of all my enemies,(F)
    I am the utter contempt(G) of my neighbors(H)
and an object of dread to my closest friends—
    those who see me on the street flee from me.
12 I am forgotten as though I were dead;(I)
    I have become like broken pottery.
