Job

Job 19:13–19

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.

¹⁶I call for my servant, but he does not answer,

though I implore him with my own mouth.

¹⁷My breath is repulsive to my wife,

and I am loathsome to my own family.

¹⁸Even little boys scorn me;

when I appear, they deride me.

¹⁹All my best friends despise me,

and those I love have turned against me.
