Job 19:19 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

All my inward friends abhorred me מתי סודי, methei sodi, The men of my secret, or council; my intimates and confidants, to whom I imparted all my thoughts, counsels, and concerns. And they whom I loved Sincerely and fervently; are turned against me So ill do they requite me. He does not say, they who loved me, for had their love been sincere it would have continued, and manifested itself toward him in his affliction as well as in his prosperity.

Job 19:19

19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
