Job 19:13-17
“ He has put my brothers far from me. My acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.My relatives have gone away. My familiar friends have forgotten me.Those who dwell in my house and my maids consider me a stranger. I am an alien in their sight.I call to my servant, and he gives me no answer. I beg him with my mouth.My breath is offensive to my wife. I am loathsome to the children of my own mother.

Job 6:15-23
My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away;Which are black by reason of the ice, in which the snow hides itself.In the dry season, they vanish. When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.The caravans that travel beside them turn away. They go up into the waste, and perish.The caravans of Tema looked. The companies of Sheba waited for them.They were distressed because they were confident. They came there, and were confounded.For now you are nothing. You see a terror, and are afraid.Did I say,‘ Give to me?’ or,‘ Offer a present for me from your substance?’or,‘ Deliver me from the adversary’s hand?’ or,‘ Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?’
