Job 19:13-22

13“He has put my relatives far from me; my acquaintances only turn away from me.

14My kinsmen have failed me; my friends have forgotten me.

15My guests and my servant girls consider me a stranger; I am a foreigner in their eyes.

16I summon my servant, but he does not respond, even though I implore him with my own mouth.

17My breath is repulsive to my wife; I am loathsome to my brothers.

18Even youngsters have scorned me; when I get up, they scoff at me.

19All my closest friends detest me; and those whom I love have turned against me.

20My bones stick to my skin and my flesh; I have escaped alive with only the skin of my teeth.

21Have pity on me, my friends, have pity on me, for the hand of God has struck me.

22Why do you pursue me like God does? Will you never be satiated with my flesh?
