Job 19:20 Context
18Yea, yong children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me. 19All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loued, are turned against me. 20My bone cleaueth to my skinne, and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skinne of my teeth. 21Haue pity vpon me, haue pitie vpon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me. 22Why doe ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
