Job 19:13-17

Job Replies: My Redeemer Lives

13 "He has put my h brothers far from me,
and i those who knew me are wholly estranged from me.
14 My relatives j have failed me,
my close k friends have forgotten me.
15 The guests l 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 m wife,
and I am a stench to the children of n my own mother.
