Job 19:16–19

16 I summon my servant, but he does not answer,

though I beg him with my own mouth.

17 My breath is offensive to my wife;

I am loathsome to my own family.

18 Even the little boys scorn me;

when I appear, they ridicule me.

19 All my intimate friends detest me;

those I love have turned against me.

16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer;

I intreated him with my mouth.

17 My breath is strange to my wife,

Though I intreated for the children’s sake of mine own body.

18 Yea, young children despised me;

I arose, and they spake against me.

19 All my inward friends abhorred me:

And they whom I loved are turned against me.

16 When I call my servant, he doesn’t come;

I have to plead with him!

17 My breath is repulsive to my wife.

I am rejected by my own family.

18 Even young children despise me.

When I stand to speak, they turn their backs on me.

19 My close friends detest me.

Those I loved have turned against me.

16 I call my servant, but he gives no answer;

I beg him with my mouth.

17 My breath is offensive to my wife,

And I am repulsive to the children of my own body.

18 Even young children despise me;

I arise, and they speak against me.

19 All my close friends abhor me,

And those whom I love have turned against me.

16 I call for my servant, but he does not answer,

even when I beg him with my own mouth.

17 My wife can’t stand my breath,

and my own family dislikes me.

18 Even the little boys hate me

and talk about me when I leave.

19 All my close friends hate me;

even those I love have turned against me.

16 I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer,

Though I entreat him with my mouth.

17 My breath is strange to my wife,

And my supplication to the children of mine own mother.

18 Even young children despise me;

If I arise, they speak against me.

19 All my familiar friends abhor me,

And they whom I loved are turned against me.

16 I called my servant, and he answered not; I entreated him with my mouth. 17 My breath is strange to my wife, and my entreaties to the children of my mother’s womb. 18 Even young children despise me; I rise up, and they speak against me. 19 All my intimate friends abhor me, and they whom I loved are turned against me.

16 I call my slave, but he doesn’t answer, though I beg him. 

17 My breath offends my wife. 

I stink to my own children. 

18 Even young children despise me. 

If I stand up, they make fun of me. 

19 All my closest friends are disgusted with me. 

Those I love have turned against me. 

16 I call for my servant, but he does not answer,

even if I beg him with my own mouth.

17 My breath is offensive to my wife,

and my own family finds me repulsive.

18 Even young boys scorn me.

When I stand up, they mock me.

19 All of my best friends despise me,

and those I love have turned against me.

16 I call to my servant, but he gives me no answer;

I must myself plead with him.

17 My breath is repulsive to my wife;

I am loathsome to my own family.

18 Even young children despise me;

when I rise, they talk against me.

19 All my intimate friends abhor me,

and those whom I love have turned against me.

16 I call to my servant, but he does not answer;

I must personally plead with him.

17 My breath is repulsive to my wife,

and I am loathsome to my own family.

18 Little boys also despise me;

when I rise, then they talk against me.

19 All my intimate friends abhor me,

and these whom I have loved have turned against me.

16 I send for my servant, but he doesn’t answer.

He doesn’t come, even though I beg him to.

17 My wife can’t stand the way my breath smells.

My own relatives won’t have anything to do with me.

18 Even little children laugh at me.

When I appear, they make fun of me.

19 All of my close friends hate me.

Those I love have turned against me.

16 “I call to my servant, but he does not answer;

I have to implore him with my mouth.

17 “My breath is offensive to my wife,

And I am loathsome to my own brothers.

18 “Even young children despise me;

I rise up and they speak against me.

19 “All my associates abhor me,

And those I love have turned against me.
