Job 19:13-20

13He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.

14My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.

15They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.

16I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.

17My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children’s sake of mine own body.1

18Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.2

19All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.3

20My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.4
