Job 19:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ I send for my servant, but he doesn’t answer.
    He doesn’t come, even though I beg him to.
¹⁷ My wife can’t stand the way my breath smells.
    My own family won’t have anything to do with me.
¹⁸ Even little children mock me.
    When I appear, they make fun of me.
