Job 19:13-20
English Standard Version
13 “He has put my (A)brothers far from me,
and (B)those who knew me are wholly estranged from me.
14 My relatives (C)have failed me,
my close (D)friends have forgotten me.
15 The guests (E)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 (F)wife,
and I am a stench to the children of (G)my own mother.
18 Even young (H)children despise me;
when I rise they talk against me.
19 All my (I)intimate friends abhor me,
and those whom I loved have turned against me.
20 My (J)bones stick to my skin and to my flesh,
and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
Job 19:13-20
New International Version
13 “He has alienated my family(A) from me;
my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.(B)
14 My relatives have gone away;
my closest friends(C) have forgotten me.
15 My guests(D) and my female servants(E) count me a foreigner;
they look on me as on a stranger.
16 I summon my servant, but he does not answer,
though I beg him with my own mouth.
17 My breath is offensive to my wife;
I am loathsome(F) to my own family.
18 Even the little boys(G) scorn me;
when I appear, they ridicule me.(H)
19 All my intimate friends(I) detest me;(J)
those I love have turned against me.(K)
20 I am nothing but skin and bones;(L)
I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.[a]

Job 19:13-20
King James Version
13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.
17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
18 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
