Job 19:13-20
English Standard Version
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.
Job 19:13-20
New Living Translation
13 “My relatives stay far away,
and my friends have turned against me.
14 My family is gone,
and my close friends have forgotten me.
15 My servants and maids consider me a stranger.
I am like a foreigner to them.
16 When I call my servant, he doesn’t come;
I have to plead with him!
17 My breath is repulsive to my wife.
I am rejected by my own family.
18 Even young children despise me.
When I stand to speak, they turn their backs on me.
19 My close friends detest me.
Those I loved have turned against me.
20 I have been reduced to skin and bones
and have escaped death by the skin of my teeth.
