Job 19:7-20

7“Though I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I get no response. I cry for help, but there is no justice.

8He has blocked my way so I cannot pass, and has shrouded my path in darkness.

9He has stripped me of my honor, and removed the crown from my head.

10He tears me down on every side until I am gone; He uproots my hope like a tree.

11His anger burns against me, and He considers me among His enemies.

12His troops advance together; they build a siege ramp against me and encamp around my tent.

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.
