Job 19:7-20

7Behold, I cry outH6817 of wrongH2555, but I am not heardH6030: I cry aloudH7768, but there is no judgmentH4941.1

8He hath fenced upH1443 my wayH734 that I cannot passH5674, and he hath setH7760 darknessH2822 in my pathsH5410.

9He hath strippedH6584 me of my gloryH3519, and takenH5493 the crownH5850 from my headH7218.

10He hath destroyedH5422 me on every sideH5439, and I am goneH3212: and mine hopeH8615 hath he removedH5265 like a treeH6086.

11He hath also kindledH2734 his wrathH639 against me, and he countethH2803 me unto him as one of his enemiesH6862.

12His troopsH1416 comeH935 togetherH3162, and raise upH5549 their wayH1870 against me, and encampH2583 round aboutH5439 my tabernacleH168.

13He hath putH7368 my brethrenH251 farH7368 from me, and mine acquaintanceH3045 are verily estrangedH2114 from me.

14My kinsfolkH7138 have failedH2308, and my familiar friendsH3045 have forgottenH7911 me.

15They that dwellH1481 in mine houseH1004, and my maidsH519, countH2803 me for a strangerH2114: I am an alienH5237 in their sightH5869.

16I calledH7121 my servantH5650, and he gave me no answerH6030; I intreatedH2603 him withH1119 my mouthH6310.

17My breathH7307 is strangeH2114 to my wifeH802, though I intreatedH2589 for the children’sH1121 sake of mine own bodyH990.2

18Yea, young childrenH5759 despisedH3988 me; I aroseH6965, and they spakeH1696 against me.3

19All my inwardH5475 friendsH4962 abhorredH8581 me: and they whom I lovedH157 are turnedH2015 against me.4

20My boneH6106 cleavethH1692 to my skinH5785 and to my fleshH1320, and I am escapedH4422 with the skinH5785 of my teethH8127.5
