Bible verse
Have pity on me, my friends, have pity, for the hand of God has struck me.
Job 19:21 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 19.
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?
23 I wish that my words were recorded and inscribed in a book,
24 by an iron stylus on lead, or chiseled in stone forever.
25 But I know that my Redeemer lives, and in the end He will stand upon the earth.
