Job 19:13-22

13“My brothers stay far away from me. My friends are complete strangers to me.

14My relatives and my closest friends have stopped coming. My house guests have forgotten me.

15My female slaves consider me to be a stranger. I am like a foreigner to them.

16I call my slave, but he doesn’t answer, though I beg him.

17My breath offends my wife. I stink to my own children.

18Even young children despise me. If I stand up, they make fun of me.

19All my closest friends are disgusted with me. Those I love have turned against me.

20I am skin and bones, and I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.

21“Have pity on me, my friends! Have pity on me because God’s hand has struck me down.

22Why do you pursue me as God does? Why are you never satisfied with my flesh?
