Job 19:7-20

7Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.1

8He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. 9He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. 10He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and my hope hath he removed like a tree. 11He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me to him as one of his enemies. 12His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp around my tent. 13He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance are verily estranged from me. 14My kinsmen have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. 15They that dwell in my 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 entreated him with my mouth. 17My breath is strange to my wife, though I make supplication to the children of my own body.2 18Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spoke against me.3 19All my close friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.4 20My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped with the skin of my teeth.5
