I have become an alien in their eyes.(A)

I must myself plead with him.

I am loathsome to my own family.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 My companions are treacherous like a torrent bed,
like swollen streams that pass away,(A)
16 that run dark with ice,
turbid with melting snow.
17 In time of heat they disappear;
when it is hot, they vanish from their place.(B)
18 The caravans turn aside from their course;
they go up into the waste and perish.
19 The caravans of Tema look;
the travelers of Sheba hope.(C)
20 They are disappointed because they were confident;
they come there and are confounded.(D)
21 Such you have now become to me;[a]
you see my calamity and are afraid.
22 Have I said, ‘Make me a gift’?
Or, ‘From your wealth offer a bribe for me’?
23 Or, ‘Save me from an opponent’s hand’?
Or, ‘Ransom me from the hand of oppressors’?
