Job 19:13-22

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.

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

22Must you also persecute me, like God does? Haven’t you chewed me up enough?
