New Testament

Job 19:10-19 English Standard Version (ESV)

10. He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone,and my hope has he pulled up like a tree.

11. He has kindled his wrath against meand counts me as his adversary.

12. His troops come on together;they have cast up their siege ramp against meand encamp around my tent.

13. “He has put my brothers far from me,and those who knew me are wholly estranged from me.

14. My relatives have failed me,my close friends have forgotten me.

15. The guests in my house and my maidservants count me as a stranger;I have become a foreigner in their eyes.

16. I call to my servant, but he gives me no answer;I must plead with him with my mouth for mercy.

17. My breath is strange to my wife,and I am a stench to the children of my own mother.

18. Even young children despise me;when I rise they talk against me.

19. All my intimate friends abhor me,and those whom I loved have turned against me.
