13 “He has put my (A)brothers far from me,
    and (B)those who knew me are wholly estranged from me.
14 My relatives (C)have failed me,
    my close (D)friends have forgotten me.
15 The guests (E)in my house and my maidservants count me as a stranger;
    I have become a foreigner in their eyes.
16 I call to my servant, but he gives me no answer;
    I must plead with him with my mouth for mercy.
17 My breath is strange to my (F)wife,
    and I am a stench to the children of (G)my own mother.
18 Even young (H)children despise me;
    when I rise they talk against me.
19 All my (I)intimate friends abhor me,
    and those whom I loved have turned against me.
20 My (J)bones stick to my skin and to my flesh,
    and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.

13 “He has (A)removed my brothers far from me,
And my (B)acquaintances have completely turned away from me.
14 My relatives have failed,
And my (C)close friends have forgotten me.
15 Those who live in my house and my servant women consider me a stranger.
I am a foreigner in their sight.
16 I call to my servant, but he does not answer;
I have to implore his favor with my mouth.
17 My breath is offensive to my wife,
And I am loathsome to my own brothers.
18 Even young children despise me;
I stand up and they speak against me.
19 All [a]my (D)associates loathe me,
And those I love have turned against me.
20 My (E)bone clings to my skin and my flesh,
And I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.
