Job 19:7-20

7“Behold, I cry out, ‘Violence!’ but I am not heard; I shout for help, but there is no justice.

8He has walled up my way so that I cannot pass, And He has set darkness upon my paths.

9He has stripped me of my honor And removed the crown from my head.

10He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; He has uprooted my hope like a tree.

11He has also kindled His wrath [like a fire] against me And He considers and counts me as one of His adversaries.

12His troops come together And build up their way and siege works against me And camp around my tent.

13“He has put my brothers far from me, And my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.

14My relatives have failed [me], And my intimate friends have forgotten me.

15Those who live [temporarily] in my house and my maids consider me a stranger; I am a foreigner in their sight.

16I call to my servant, but he does not answer; I have to implore him with words.

17My breath is repulsive to my wife, And I am loathsome to my own brothers.

18Even young children despise me; When I get up, they speak against me.

19All the men of my council hate me; Those I love have turned against me.

20My bone clings to my skin and to my flesh, And I have escaped [death] by the skin of my teeth.
