Job 19:14-22

14My relatives have gone away; my closest friends have forgotten me.

15My guests and my female servants count me a foreigner; they look on me as on a stranger.

16I summon my servant, but he does not answer, though I beg him with my own mouth.

17My breath is offensive to my wife; I am loathsome to my own family.

18Even the little boys scorn me; when I appear, they ridicule me.

19All my intimate friends detest me; those I love have turned against me.

20I am nothing but skin and bones; I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth. Or only by my gums

21“Have pity on me, my friends, have pity, for the hand of God has struck me.

22Why do you pursue me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh?
