Job 19:5-20

New International Version

⁵ If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me^(A)
    and use my humiliation against me,
⁶ then know that God has wronged me^(B)
    and drawn his net^(C) around me.^(D)

⁷ “Though I cry, ‘Violence!’ I get no response;^(E)
    though I call for help,^(F) there is no justice.^(G)
8 He has blocked my way so I cannot pass;^(H)
    he has shrouded my paths in darkness.^(I)
9 He has stripped^(J) me of my honor^(K)
    and removed the crown from my head.^(L)
10 He tears me down^(M) on every side till I am gone;
    he uproots my hope^(N) like a tree.^(O)
11 His anger^(P) burns against me;
    he counts me among his enemies.^(Q)
12 His troops advance in force;^(R)
    they build a siege ramp^(S) against me
    and encamp around my tent.^(T)

¹³ “He has alienated my family^(U) from me;
    my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.^(V)
14 My relatives have gone away;
    my closest friends^(W) have forgotten me.
¹⁵ My guests^(X) and my female servants^(Y) count me a foreigner;
    they look on me as on a stranger.
¹⁶ I summon my servant, but he does not answer,
    though I beg him with my own mouth.
¹⁷ My breath is offensive to my wife;
    I am loathsome^(Z) to my own family.
¹⁸ Even the little boys^(AA) scorn me;
    when I appear, they ridicule me.^(AB)
19 All my intimate friends^(AC) detest me;^(AD)
    those I love have turned against me.^(AE)
20 I am nothing but skin and bones;^(AF)
    I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.^[a]
