Job 19:13-22
Christian Standard Bible
13 He has removed my brothers from me;
my acquaintances have abandoned me.(A)
14 My relatives stop coming by,
and my close friends have forgotten me.
15 My house guests[a] and female servants regard me as a stranger;
I am a foreigner in their sight.(B)
16 I call for my servant, but he does not answer,
even if I beg him with my own mouth.
17 My breath is offensive to my wife,
and my own family[b] finds me repulsive.
18 Even young boys scorn me.
When I stand up, they mock me.(C)
19 All of my best friends[c] despise me,(D)
and those I love have turned against me.(E)
20 My skin and my flesh cling to my bones;
I have escaped with only the skin of my teeth.
21 Have mercy on me, my friends,(F) have mercy,
for God’s hand(G) has struck me.(H)
22 Why do you persecute me as God does?
Will you never get enough of my flesh?
Job 19:13-22

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]
