Bible verse
My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance.
Psalm 38:11 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 38.
7 For my loins are full of burning pain, and no soundness remains in my body.
8 I am numb and badly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.
9 O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You.
10 My heart pounds, my strength fails, and even the light of my eyes has faded.
11 My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance.
12 Those who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction, plotting deceit all day long.
13 But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth.
14 I am like a man who cannot hear, whose mouth offers no reply.
15 I wait for You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God.
