Job 19:8-22

8He hath fenced upH5921 my wayH734 that I cannotH3808 passH5674, and hath setH7760 darknessH2822 in my pathsH734.

9He hath strippedH6584 meH5921 of my gloryH3519, and takenH5493 the crownH5850 from my headH7218.

10He hath brokenH5422 meH5422 downH5422 on everyH5439 sideH5439, and I am gone: and mine hopeH8615 hath he pluckedH5265 up like a treeH6086.

11He hath also kindledH2734 his wrathH639 againstH5921 meH5921, and he counteth meH5921 unto him as one of his adversaries.

12His troopsH1416 comeH935 on togetherH3162, and cast upH5921 their wayH1870 againstH5921 meH5921, and encampH2583 roundH5439 aboutH5439 my tentH168.

13He hath putH7368 my brethrenH251 farH7368 from meH5921, and mineH4480 acquaintance are wholly estranged from meH5921.

14My kinsfolk have failedH2308, and my familiarH3045 friendsH3045 have forgottenH7911 meH7911.

15They that dwellH1481 in mine houseH1004, and my maidsH519, count meH2803 for a strangerH5237: I am an alienH5237 in their sightH5869.

16I callH7121 unto my servantH5650, and he giveth meH7121 noH3808 answerH6030, though I entreat him with my mouthH6310.

17My breathH7307 is strangeH2114 to my wifeH802, and my supplication to the childrenH1121 of my mother’s wombH990.

18EvenH1571 youngH5759 childrenH5759 despiseH3988 meH1696; if I ariseH6965, they speakH1696 againstH1696 meH1696.

19AllH3605 my inward friendsH157 abhorH8581 meH8581: and they whom I lovedH157 are turnedH2015 againstH3605 meH8581.

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

21Have pityH2603 uponH3027 meH5060, have pityH2603 uponH3027 meH5060, O ye my friendsH7453; for the handH3027 of GodH433 hath touchedH5060 meH5060.

22WhyH4100 doH4100 ye persecuteH7291 meH7291 as GodH410, and are notH3808 satisfiedH7646 with my fleshH1320?
