24.3 Abandoned By Other Friends We Still Hope In the Lord Our Friend

(Job 19:14-19, 25)

My relatives and friends are gone.
Those who were guests in my house have forgotten me;
My servant girls treat me like a stranger and foreigner.
When I call a servant, he doesn’t answer –
even when I beg him to help me.
Children despise me and laugh when they see me.
My closest friends look at me with disgust;
Those I loved most have turned against me.

But I know there is someone in heaven
Who will come at last to my defense.
