Job 19:13-22

13“He removed my brothers far from me; my acquaintances are only strangers to me.

14My relatives have gone away and my close friends have forgotten me.

15My houseguests and my maidservants consider me a stranger. I have become a foreigner in their eyes.

16I call my servant but he does not reply though I beg him with my own mouth.

17My breath is repulsive to my wife; I am loathsome to my children.

18Even young children despise me; when I stand, they speak against me.

19All my close friends despise me; those I love have turned against me.

20My bones cling to my skin and my flesh; I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.

21“Have pity on me my friends, have pity, for the hand of God has struck me.

22Why do you pursue me—like God? Are you not satisfied with my flesh?
