Job 19:13-25 (Neal's translation)

13 My family bonds He has severed;    
     I'm a stranger to ones who were close.
14 My kin-folk and friends are all gone;    
     I'm forgotten by guests in my home.
15 Even the house-maids don't know me;    
     In their eyes I'm an outsider now.
16 I call to my servant, but he's silent;    
     Crying, I beg him to come.
17 My spirit is strange to my wife;    
     And I long for the children we've lost. 
18 Even the foolish revile me;    
     When I rise up they ridicule me.
19 My closest counselors dismiss me;    
     Those dearest to me close their doors.
20 This flesh hangs loose upon bone;     
     By the skin of my teeth I am left.
21 Have sympathy, dear friends, have sympathy!  
     For the fist of God struck me down.
22 Why do you hound me (as He does)?    
     Unhappy with feasting on flesh?
23 If only my words were written!    
     A witness inscribed for the world!
24 Lettered in lead with iron!     
     Eternally etched in stone!
25 For I know my redeemer lives;    
     And the Last One--He will rise on the dust.

Two Preachers and a Trucker: Redeemer

CALVIN: God has us together and united us in order that we might have a community; so that one person may support the other, and that each may try to help his neighbor, and when we can do no better, that we may have pity and compassion for one another.
