Job

Job 19:12–15

¹²His troops advance together;

they construct a ramp against me

and encamp around my tent.

¹³He has removed my brothers from me;

my acquaintances have abandoned me.

¹⁴My kinsmen have failed me,

and my friends have forgotten me.

¹⁵My guests and maidservants count me as a stranger;

I am a foreigner in their sight.
