Job 19:7-20

7“Though I cry, ‘Violence!’ I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice.

8He has blocked my way so I cannot pass; he has shrouded my paths in darkness.

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

10He tears me down on every side till I am gone; he uproots my hope like a tree.

11His anger burns against me; he counts me among his enemies.

12His troops advance in force; they build a siege ramp against me and encamp around my tent.

13“He has alienated my family from me; my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.

14My relatives have gone away; my closest friends have forgotten me.

15My guests and my female servants count me a foreigner; they look on me as on a stranger.

16I summon my servant, but he does not answer, though I beg him with my own mouth.

17My breath is offensive to my wife; I am loathsome to my own family.

18Even the little boys scorn me; when I appear, they ridicule me.

19All my intimate friends detest me; those I love have turned against me.

20I am nothing but skin and bones; I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.
