Job 19:13-20

Modern English Version

¹³ “He has removed my brothers far from me,
    and my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.
¹⁴ My relatives have failed,
    and my close friends have forgotten me.
¹⁵ Those who dwell in my house, and my maidservants,
    count me for a stranger;
    I am a foreigner in their sight.
¹⁶ I called my servant, but he gave me no answer;
    I begged him with my mouth.
¹⁷ My breath is offensive to my wife;
    I am loathsome to the children of my own body.
¹⁸ Yes, young children despise me;
    I arose, and they spoke against me.
¹⁹ All my close friends abhorred me,
    and they whom I love are turned against me.
²⁰ My bones cling to my skin and to my flesh,
    and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
