Job 19:8-22
8He has 1walledH1443 up my wayH734 so that I cannotH3808 passH5674, And He has putH7760 2darknessH2822 on my pathsH5410.9He has 3strippedH6584 my honorH3519 from me And removedH5493 the 4crownH5850 from my headH7218.10He 5breaksH5422 me downH5422 on everyH5439 sideH5439, and I am goneH1980; And He has uprootedH5265 my 6hopeH8615 7like a treeH6086.11He has also 8kindledH2734 His angerH639 againstH5921 me And 9consideredH2803 me as His enemyH6862.12His 10troopsH1416 comeH935 togetherH3162, And 11buildH5549 up their 12wayH1870 againstH5921 me And campH2583 aroundH5439 my tentH168.
13“He has 13removedH7368 my brothersH251 farH7368 from me, And my 14acquaintancesH3045 are completelyH389 estrangedH2114 from me.14My relativesH7138 have failedH2308, And my 15intimateH3045 friendsH3045 have forgottenH7911 me.15Those who liveH1481 in my houseH1004 and my maidsH519 considerH2803 me a strangerH2114. I amH1961 a foreignerH5237 in their sightH5869.16I callH7121 to my servantH5650, but he does not answerH6030; I have to imploreH2603 him with my mouthH6310.17My breathH7307 is 16offensiveH2114 to my wifeH802, And I am loathsomeH2603 to my own brothersH1121H990.18EvenH1571 youngH5759 childrenH5759 despiseH3988 me; I riseH6965 up and they speakH1696 against me.19AllH3605 17my 18associatesH4962 abhorH8581 me, And thoseH2088 I loveH157 have turnedH2015 against me.20My 19boneH6106 clingsH1692 to my skinH5785 and my fleshH1320, And I have escapedH4422 only by the skinH5785 of my teethH8127.21PityH2603 me, pityH2603 me, O you my friendsH7453, For the 20handH3027 of GodH433 has struckH5221 me.22WhyH4100 do you 21persecuteH7291 me as GodH410 does, And are not satisfiedH7646 with my fleshH1320?
