New International Version
Job 19:13-20
New International Version
13 “He has alienated my family(A) from me;
my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.(B)
14 My relatives have gone away;
my closest friends(C) have forgotten me.
15 My guests(D) and my female servants(E) 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(F) to my own family.
18 Even the little boys(G) scorn me;
when I appear, they ridicule me.(H)
19 All my intimate friends(I) detest me;(J)
those I love have turned against me.(K)
20 I am nothing but skin and bones;(L)
I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.[a]

Social ostracism
13 He has distanced my family from me;
my acquaintances are also alienated from me.
14 My visitors have ceased;
those who know me have forgotten me.
15 My guests and female servants think me a stranger;
I’m a foreigner in their sight.
16 I call my servant, and he doesn’t answer;
I myself must beg him.
17 My breath stinks to my wife;
I am odious to my children.
18 Even the young despise me;
I get up, and they rail against me.
19 All my closest friends despise me;
the ones I have loved turn against me.
Misery
20 My bones cling to my skin and flesh;
I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
