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.
