11. He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me to him as one of his enemies.
12. His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp around my tabernacle.
13. He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
14. My kinsmen have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
15. They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
16. I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I entreated him with my mouth.
17. My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the children's sake of my own body.
18. Yes, young children despised me; I arose, and they spoke against me.
19. All my intimate friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
20. My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped with the skin of my teeth.
21. Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
22. Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23. Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
24. That they were graven with an iron pen in lead, in the rock for ever!
25. For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he will stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26. And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27. Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
