Contextual Overview

8He has blocked my way so that I cannot pass through;he has veiled my paths with darkness. 9He has stripped me of my honorand removed the crown from my head.10He tears me down on every side so that I am ruined.He uproots my hope like a tree. 11His anger burns against me,and he regards me as one of his enemies. 12His troops advance together;they construct a ramp against meand camp around my tent. 13He has removed my brothers from me;my acquaintances have abandoned me. 14My relatives stop coming by,and my close friends have forgotten me. 15My house guests and female servants regard me as a stranger;I am a foreigner in their sight. 16I call for my servant, but he does not answer,even if I beg him with my own mouth. 17My breath is offensive to my wife,and my own family finds me repulsive.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He hath stripped me of my glory,.... The metaphor of a traveller may be still continued, who falling among thieves is stripped of his clothes, to which the allusion may be: Job was not stripped of his glory in a spiritual sense, not of the glorious robe of Christ's righteousness, nor of the graces of the Spirit, which makes saints all glorious within; but in a civil sense, and is to be understood not merely of his rich apparel, or of his robe, which he might wear as a civil magistrate, as an ensign of honour, and which made him look glorious; but either of his wealth, riches, and substance, which are a man's glory, and which he too often and too much glories in, though Job might not; see Psalms 49:16; or of his children, Hosea 9:11 Esther 5:11; and indeed of everything that made him look magnificent among men; as an abundance of this world's good, a numerous family, fine clothes, sumptuous living, and a stately palace; all which Job might have had, but was now stripped of all by one means or another; and whoever were the instruments, he ascribes it all to God, as being according to his sovereign will and pleasure; and these things are very properly and significantly expressed by clothes a man is stripped of, because they are outward things, as garments are, adorn and make externally glorious, as they do, and of which a man may be as soon and as easily deprived as to be stripped of his clothes by one or more of superior power to him:

and taken the crown [from] my head: meaning much the same as before, either his wealth and riches, which are the crown of a wise man,

Proverbs 14:24; or his children, which are the crown of old then,

Proverbs 17:6; or everything that gave him honour, reputation, and esteem with men; all was taken away from him, and his honour laid in the dust. Some from hence have wrongly concluded that Job was a king, and wore a royal diadem, of which he was now deprived, mistaking him for Jobab, a king of Edom, Genesis 36:33; but he had and wore a better diadem, and which he did not lose, but held fast, even his righteousness, justice, and integrity, Job 29:14; and much less could the crown of life, righteousness, and glory, to which he was entitled, be taken from him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He hath stripped me of my glory - Everything which I had that contributed to my respectability and honor, he has taken away. My property, my health, my family, the esteem of my friend - all is gone.

And taken the crown from my head - The crown is an emblem of honor and dignity - and Job says that God had removed all that contributed to his - and Job says that God had removed all that contributed to his former dignity; compare Proverbs 4:9; Proverbs 17:6; Ezekiel 16:12; Lamentations 5:16.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 19:9. He hath stripped me of my glory — I am reduced to such circumstances, that I have lost all my honour and respect.
