Job 19:12

Suffering

10 He tears me down on every side until I am gone; He uproots my hope like a tree.

11 His anger burns against me, and He counts me among His enemies.

His troops advance together; they construct a ramp against me and encamp around my tent.

13 He has removed my brothers from me; my acquaintances have abandoned me.

14 My kinsmen have failed me, and my friends have forgotten me.
