Job 19:13-20
New American Standard Bible
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.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 “He has put my family far from me,
and my acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.
14 My relatives and my close friends have failed me;
15 the guests in my house have forgotten me;
my female servants count me as a stranger;
I have become an alien in their eyes.(A)
16 I call to my servant, but he gives me no answer;
I must myself plead with him.
17 My breath is repulsive to my wife;
I am loathsome to my own family.
18 Even young children despise me;
when I rise, they talk against me.(B)
19 All my intimate friends abhor me,
and those whom I love have turned against me.(C)
20 My bones cling to my skin and to my flesh,
and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.(D)
