13“He has alienated my familyn from me;

my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.o

14My relatives have gone away;

my closest friendsp have forgotten me.

15My guestsq and my female servantsr count me a foreigner;

they look on me as on a stranger.

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

though I beg him with my own mouth.

17My breath is offensive to my wife;

I am loathsomes to my own family.

20I am nothing but skin and bones;y

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

ESVEnglish Standard Version

“He has put my brothers far from me,

and those who knew me are wholly estranged from me.

My relatives have failed me,

my close friends have forgotten me.

The guests in my house and my maidservants count me as a stranger;

I have become a foreigner in their eyes.

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

I must plead with him with my mouth for mercy.

My breath is strange to my wife,

and I am a stench to the children of my own mother.

Even young children despise me;

when I rise they talk against me.

All my intimate friends abhor me,

and those whom I loved have turned against me.

My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh,

and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.

I have escaped with only the skin of my teeth.

“He has removed my kinsfolk from me,

and my acquaintances have only turned aside from me.

My relatives have failed,

and my close friends have forgotten me.

The sojourners in my house and my slave women count me as a stranger;

I have become a foreigner in their eyes.

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

I must personally plead with him.

My breath is repulsive to my wife,

and I am loathsome to my own family.

Little boys also despise me;

when I rise, then they talk against me.

All my intimate friends abhor me,

and these whom I have loved have turned against me.

My bones cling to my skin and to my flesh,

and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.

KJV 1900King James Version

He hath put my brethren far from me,

And mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.

My kinsfolk have failed,

And my familiar friends have forgotten me.

They that dwell in mine house, and my maids,

Count me for a stranger:

I am an alien in their sight.

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

I intreated him with my mouth.

My breath is strange to my wife,

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

Yea, young children despised me;

I arose, and they spake against me.

All my inward friends abhorred me:

And they whom I loved are turned against me.

My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh,

And I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
