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?
