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.
