Job 19:1-29
Then Job replied: How long will you torment me and crush me with words? Ten times now you have reproached me; shamelessly you attack me. If it is true that I have gone astray, my error remains my concern alone. If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and use my humiliation against me, then know that God has wronged me and drawn his net around me.
“Though I cry, ‘Violence!’ I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice. He has blocked my way so I cannot pass; he has shrouded my paths in darkness.
“He has alienated my family from me; my acquaintances are completely estranged from me. My relatives have gone away; my closest friends have forgotten me. My guests and my female servants count me a foreigner; they look on me as on a stranger. I summon my servant, but he does not answer, though I beg him with my own mouth. My breath is offensive to my wife; I am loathsome to my own family. Even the little boys scorn me; when I appear, they ridicule me. All my intimate friends detest me; those I love have turned against me. I am nothing but skin and bones; I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.
I know that my redeeme lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet] in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!
“If you say, ‘How we will hound him, since the root of the trouble lies in him', you should fear the sword yourselves; for wrath will bring punishment by the sword, and then you will know that there is judgment.
Why?
Job complained that his friend had attacked him and had made judgments about him. Even those came, Job left skin and bone only, he knew that my redeemer lives and that in the end, he will stand on the earth. This is Job's faith in the Lord.
Job under very poor and has nothing in his life, even his wife, family, friends and servants do not care for him. To a man, Job was under fresh and spiritual alone.
How?
Who can take pity and love the needy men? How can I miss the love before the needy person?
