Job 19:20–22

20 I am nothing but skin and bones;

I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.

21 “Have pity on me, my friends, have pity,

for the hand of God has struck me.

22 Why do you pursue me as God does?

Will you never get enough of my flesh?

20 My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh,

and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.

21 Have mercy on me, have mercy on me, O you my friends,

for the hand of God has touched me!

22 Why do you, like God, pursue me?

Why are you not satisfied with my flesh?

20 I have been reduced to skin and bones

and have escaped death by the skin of my teeth.

21 “Have mercy on me, my friends, have mercy,

for the hand of God has struck me.

22 Must you also persecute me, like God does?

Haven’t you chewed me up enough?

20 My bone clings to my skin and to my flesh,

And I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.

21 “Have pity on me, have pity on me, O you my friends,

For the hand of God has struck me!

22 Why do you persecute me as God does,

And are not satisfied with my flesh?

20 I am nothing but skin and bones;

I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.

21 Pity me, my friends, pity me,

because the hand of God has hit me.

22 Why do you chase me as God does?

Haven’t you hurt me enough?

20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh,

And I am 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?

20 My bones cleave to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. 21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, 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?

20 I am skin and bones, 

and I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth. 

21 “Have pity on me, my friends! 

Have pity on me because God’s hand has struck me down. 

22 Why do you pursue me as God does? 

Why are you never satisfied with my flesh?
