Job 19:13-25 (Neal's translation, with deference to C.L. Seow's

13 He has distanced my family from me;    and those who know me best are now strangers.
14 My relatives and closest friends are no more;    the guests in my house have forgotten me.
15 Even the house-maids don't know me;    I am an outsider in their eyes.
16 I call to my servant, but he doesn't answer;    with my lips I beg for him to come.
17 My spirit is strange to my wife;    and I yearn for the children of my body. 
18 Even the foolish despise me;    when I rise they ridicule me.
19 My innermost circle of friends reject me;    and those whom I love turn their backs.
20 My flesh hangs by skin and bones;     and I am left with the skin of my teeth.
21 Take pity, take pity on me, you who are my friends;    for the hand of God has struck me!
22 Why do you, like God, hound me;    unsatisfied with my flesh?
23 If only my words were written down!    If only they were inscribed for all to see
24 With iron and lead;     etched in stone for all eternity!
25 For I know that my redeemer lives;     and he--the Last One--will rise over the dust.
