Holy Scripture
Job 16:11
A church father on this verse
“"God has given me up to an iniquitous angel." These words are said because it is believed that an angel accompanies each human being. Job calls his angel iniquitous because of the effects of Job's misfortunes that he observes, just as David calls the angel evil who kills the firstborn of the Egyptians.”

In context
9In his anger he has cast me down; He has gnashed his teeth upon me: The weapons of his robbers have fallen upon me.
10He has attacked me with the keen glances of his eyes; With his sharp spear he has smitten me down upon my knees; And they have run upon me with one accord.
— Job 16:11 —
12When I was at peace he distracted me: He took me by the hair of the head, and plucked it out: He set me up as a mark.
13They surrounded me with spears, Aiming at my reins: Without sparing me they poured out my gall upon the ground.
