Job 19:13-22
13
“He has put my brothers far from me. My acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.
14
My relatives have gone away. My familiar friends have forgotten me.
15
Those who dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger. I am an alien in their sight.
16

18

19

22
Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
