Job 19:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶     When I send for my servant, he does not come.
        I even plead with him with my own voice.
¹⁷     My breath is strange; even my wife avoids me;
        I’m loathsome to my relatives; they can’t stand to be around me.
¹⁸     Even young children taunt me,
        and when I seek to rise, they mock me.
