They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 19 of Job. Job’s loneliness reaches an extreme dimension: brothers, friends, servants, and those close to him turn away. Even his own family rejects him. Job asks his friends at least to have compassion and stop pursuing him. The request is significant because the theological debate has also become a crisis of human solidarity.

Meine Hausgenossen und meine Mägde achten mich für fremd; ich bin unbekannt geworden vor ihren Augen.
Los moradores de mi casa y mis criadas me tuvieron por extraño; Forastero fui yo en sus ojos.
Los que habitan en mi casa y mis criadas me consideran un extraño; he llegado a ser un extranjero a sus ojos.
Je suis un étranger pour mes serviteurs et mes servantes, Je ne suis plus à leurs yeux qu'un inconnu.
I miei famigliari, e le mie serventi, mi tengono per istraniero; Io paio loro un forestiere.
Os meus domésticos e as minhas servas me reputaram como um estranho, e vim a ser um estrangeiro aos seus olhos.
在我家寄居的和我的使女, 都當我是陌生人; 我在他們眼中被視為外邦人。
