Job 19:8-22 - What God Has Done To Me

⁸ He walled up my path and I shall not pass, and he will set darkness upon my beaten paths. ⁹ And he put off from me my honor, and he removed the crown of my head. ¹⁰ He will lay me waste round about, and I shall go: and he will remove my hope as a tree. ¹¹ And he will kindle his anger against me, and he will reckon me to him as his enemy. ¹² His troops shall come together and raise up their way against me, and they will encamp round about to my tent

¹³ He removed my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance truly turned aside from me. ¹⁴ My kindred ceased, and they acquainted with me forgot me. ¹⁵ They sojourning in my house and my maids, mill reckon me for a stranger: I was a foreigner in their eyes. ¹⁶ I called to my servant and he will not answer; I shall entreat him with my mouth. ¹⁷ My spirit was loathsome to my wife, and I entreated to the sons of my belly. ¹⁸ Also children rejected me; I shall arise, and they will speak against me. ¹⁹ All the men of my intimacy will abhor me, and those I loved were turned against me. ²⁰ My bone cleaved to my skin and to my flesh, and I shall escape with the skin of my teeth.

²¹ Pity me, pity me, ye my friends, for the hand of God touched upon me. ²² Why will ye pursue me as God, and will ye not be satisfied from my flesh?
