Job 19:17

“My breath is offensive to my wife. I am loathsome to the children of my own mother.”

Verse in context — Job 19

Those who dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger. I am an alien in their sight.

I call to my servant, and he gives me no answer. I beg him with my mouth.

My breath is offensive to my wife. I am loathsome to the children of my own mother.

Even young children despise me. If I arise, they speak against me.

All my familiar friends abhor me. They whom I loved have turned against me.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
