Job 19:12-19 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

12. His armies gather.They prepare a way to attack me.They camp around my tent.

13. “God has made my brothers my enemies.My friends have become complete strangers.

14. My relatives have gone away.My friends have forgotten me.

15. My guests and my women servants think of me as a stranger.They look at me as if I were a foreigner.

16. I call for my servant, but he does not answer.I even beg him with my own mouth.

17. My wife hates my breath.My own family hates me.

18. Even the little boys hate me.When I leave, they talk about me.

19. All my close friends hate me.Even those I love have turned against me.
