Job 19:13-20

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)
