⁹ Even my ^(A)close friend in whom I trusted,
    who ^(B)ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.

^10 (A)For I hear many whispering.
    ^(B)Terror is on every side!
“Denounce him! ^(C)Let us denounce him!”
    say all my ^(D)close friends,
    ^(E)watching for ^(F)my fall.
“Perhaps he will be deceived;
    then ^(G)we can overcome him
    and take our revenge on him.”

¹⁹ All my ^(A)intimate friends abhor me,
    and those whom I loved have turned against me.

⁷ All your allies have driven you to your border;
    those at peace with you have deceived you;
they have prevailed against you;
    ^(A)those who eat your bread^[a] have set a trap beneath you—
    ^(B)you have^[b] no understanding.
