Job 19:7-20

7“If I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I receive no answer; I cry for help, but there is no justice.

8He has blocked my way so I cannot pass, and has set darkness over my paths.

9He has stripped me of my honor and has taken the crown off my head.

10He tears me down on every side until I perish; he uproots my hope like one uproots a tree.

11Thus his anger burns against me, and he considers me among his enemies.

12His troops advance together; they throw up a siege ramp against me, and they camp around my tent.

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.
