Contextual Overview

8 God has blocked my way to keep me from getting through. He has hidden my path in darkness. 9 He took away my honor. He took the crown from my head. 10 He hits me on every side until I am worn out. He takes away my hope. It is like a tree pulled up by the roots. 11 His anger burns against me. He treats me like an enemy. 12 He sends his army to attack me. They build attack towers around me. They camp around my tent. 13 "God has made my brothers hate me. Those who knew me have become strangers. 14 My relatives have left me. My friends have forgotten me. 15 My servant girls and visitors in my home look at me as if I am a stranger and a foreigner. 16 I call for my servant, but he does not answer. Even if I beg for help, he will not answer. 17 My wife hates the smell of my breath. My own brothers hate me.

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.
