Strongs On/Off
Context
Job’s Forsaken State
19:13 “He has put my relatives far from me; my acquaintances only turn away from me.
19:14 My kinsmen have failed me; my friends have forgotten me.
19:15 My guests and my servant girls consider me a stranger ; I am a foreigner in their eyes .
19:16 I summon my servant , but he does not respond , even though I implore him with my own mouth .
19:17 My breath is repulsive to my wife ; I am loathsome to my brothers .
19:18 Even youngsters have scorned me; when I get up , they scoff at me.
19:19 All my closest friends detest me; and those whom I love have turned against me.
19:20 My bones stick to my skin and my flesh ; I have escaped alive with only the skin of my teeth .
19:21 Have pity on me, my friends , have pity on me, for the hand of God has struck me.
19:22 Why do you pursue me like God does? Will you never be satiated with my flesh ?
