Psalms 31:11
31:11 Because of all my enemies, people disdain me;
my neighbors are appalled by my suffering –
those who know me are horrified by my condition;
those who see me in the street run away from me.
Job 6:21-23

you see a terror, and are afraid.

and from your fortune make gifts in my favor’?
6:23 Or ‘Deliver me from the enemy’s power,
and from the hand of tyrants ransom me’?
Job 19:13-17
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.
Matthew 26:56
26:56 But this has happened so that
the scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
John 16:32
16:32 Look, a time
is coming – and has come – when you will be scattered, each one to his own home,
and I will be left alone.
Yet
I am not alone, because my Father
is with me.
