Job 19:13-20

13“My relatives stay far away, and my friends have turned against me.

14My family is gone, and my close friends have forgotten me.

15My servants and maids consider me a stranger. I am like a foreigner to them.

16When I call my servant, he doesn’t come; I have to plead with him!

17My breath is repulsive to my wife. I am rejected by my own family.

18Even young children despise me. When I stand to speak, they turn their backs on me.

19My close friends detest me. Those I loved have turned against me.

20I have been reduced to skin and bones and have escaped death by the skin of my teeth.
