In context

18But they rejected me forever; Whenever I rise up, they speak against me.

19They that saw me abhorred me: The very persons whom I had loved, rose up against me.

— Job 19:20 —

21Pity me, pity me, O friends; For it is the hand of the Lord that has touched me.

22Wherefore do ye persecute me as also the Lord does, And are not satisfied with my flesh?
