Job 19:7-21
New International Version
7 “Though I cry, ‘Violence!’ I get no response;(A)
though I call for help,(B) there is no justice.(C)
8 He has blocked my way so I cannot pass;(D)
he has shrouded my paths in darkness.(E)
9 He has stripped(F) me of my honor(G)
and removed the crown from my head.(H)
10 He tears me down(I) on every side till I am gone;
he uproots my hope(J) like a tree.(K)
11 His anger(L) burns against me;
he counts me among his enemies.(M)
12 His troops advance in force;(N)
they build a siege ramp(O) against me
and encamp around my tent.(P)
13 “He has alienated my family(Q) from me;
my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.(R)
14 My relatives have gone away;
my closest friends(S) have forgotten me.
15 My guests(T) and my female servants(U) 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(V) to my own family.
18 Even the little boys(W) scorn me;
when I appear, they ridicule me.(X)
19 All my intimate friends(Y) detest me;(Z)
those I love have turned against me.(AA)
20 I am nothing but skin and bones;(AB)
I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.[a]
