The verses around it, from Job 19.
14 My kinsmen have failed me, and my friends have forgotten me.
15 My guests and maidservants count me as a stranger; I am a foreigner in their sight.
16 I call for my servant, but he does not answer, though I implore him with my own mouth.
17 My breath is repulsive to my wife, and I am loathsome to my own family.
18 Even little boys scorn me; when I appear, they deride me.
19 All my best friends despise me, and those I love have turned against me.
20 My skin and flesh cling to my bones; I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
21 Have pity on me, my friends, have pity, for the hand of God has struck me.
22 Why do you persecute me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh?
