Job 19:10-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 19
10He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; And He has uprooted my hope like a tree. 11He has also kindled His anger against me And considered me as His enemy. 12His troops come together And build up their way against me And camp around my tent. 13'He has removed my brothers far from me, And my acquaintances have completely turned away from me. 14My relatives have failed, And my close friends have forgotten me. 15Those who live in my house and my servant women consider me a stranger. I am a foreigner in their sight. 16I call to my servant, but he does not answer; I have to implore his favor with my mouth. 17My breath is offensive to my wife, And I am loathsome to my own brothers. 18Even young children despise me; I stand up and they speak against me. 19All my associates loathe me, And those I love have turned against me. 20My bone clings to my skin and my flesh, And I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.King James Version
Chapter 19
10He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 19
10He tears me down on every side so that I am ruined. He uproots my hope like a tree. 11His anger burns against me, and he regards me as one of his enemies. 12His troops advance together; they construct a ramp against me and camp around my tent. 13He has removed my brothers from me; my acquaintances have abandoned me. 14My relatives stop coming by, and my close friends have forgotten me. 15My house guests and female servants regard me as a stranger; I am a foreigner in their sight. 16I call for my servant, but he does not answer, even if I beg him with my own mouth. 17My breath is offensive to my wife, and my own family finds me repulsive. 18Even young boys scorn me. When I stand up, they mock me. 19All of my best friends despise me, and those I love have turned against me. 20My skin and my flesh cling to my bones; I have escaped with only the skin of my teeth.New Living Translation
Chapter 19
10He has demolished me on every side, and I am finished. He has uprooted my hope like a fallen tree. 11His fury burns against me; he counts me as an enemy. 12His troops advance. They build up roads to attack me. They camp all around my tent.
13'My relatives stay far away, and my friends have turned against me.
14My family is gone, and my close friends have forgotten me.
15My servants and maids consider me a stranger. I am like a foreigner to them.
16When I call my servant, he doesn’t come; I have to plead with him!
17My breath is repulsive to my wife. I am rejected by my own family.
18Even young children despise me. When I stand to speak, they turn their backs on me.
19My close friends detest me. Those I loved have turned against me.
20I have been reduced to skin and bones and have escaped death by the skin of my teeth.

Chapter 19
10He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone, and my hope has he pulled up like a tree. 11He has kindled his wrath against me and counts me as his adversary. 12His troops come on together; they have cast up their siege ramp against me and encamp around my tent. 13"He has put my brothers far from me, and those who knew me are wholly estranged from me. 14My relatives have failed me, my close friends have forgotten me. 15The guests in my house and my maidservants count me as a stranger; I have become a foreigner in their eyes. 16I call to my servant, but he gives me no answer; I must plead with him with my mouth for mercy. 17My breath is strange to my wife, and I am a stench to the children of my own mother. 18Even young children despise me; when I rise they talk against me. 19All my intimate friends abhor me, and those whom I loved have turned against me. 20My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.New International Version
Chapter 19
10He tears me down on every side till I am gone; he uproots my hope like a tree. 11His anger burns against me; he counts me among his enemies.
12His troops advance in force; they build a siege ramp against me and encamp around my tent.
13"He has alienated my family from me; my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.
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.
