Job 19:19-24 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

19. All my close friends hate me.Even those I love have turned against me.

20. I am nothing but skin and bones.I have escaped with only the skin of my teeth.

21. Pity me, my friends. Pity me!The hand of God has hit me.

22. Why do you chase me as God does?Haven’t you had enough of hurting my body?

23. “How I wish my words were written down.I wish they were written on a scroll.

24. I wish they were carved with an iron pen into lead,or carved into stone forever!

Job 19
