Job 19:7-20

7“I cry out, ‘Help!’ but no one answers me. I protest, but there is no justice.

8God has blocked my way so I cannot move. He has plunged my path into darkness.

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

10He has demolished me on every side, and I am finished. He has uprooted my hope like a fallen tree.

11His fury burns against me; he counts me as an enemy.

12His troops advance. They build up roads to attack me. They camp all around my tent.

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.
