8 He hath hedged vp my way that I can not passe, and he hath set darkenesse in my pathes. 9 He hath spoyled me of myne honour, and taken the crowne away from my head. 10 He hath destroyed me on euery side and I am gone: my hope hath he taken away as a tree pluckt vp by the roote. 11 His wrath is kindled against me, he taketh me as though I were his enemie. 12 His men of warre come together, which made their way ouer me, and besieged my dwelling rounde about. 13 He hath put my brethren farre away from me, and myne acquaintaunce are also become straungers vnto me. 14 Myne owne kinsefolkes haue forsaken me, and my best acquainted haue forgotten me. 15 The seruauntes and maydens of myne owne house toke me for a straunger, and I am become as an aliaunt in their sight. 16 I called my seruaunt, and he gaue me no aunswere: [no though] I prayed him with my mouth. 17 Myne owne wyfe might not abyde my breath, though I prayed her for the children sake of myne owne body.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

All my inward friends abhorred me,.... Or "the men of my secret" m; who were so very familiar with him, that he imparted the secrets of his heart, and the most private affairs of life, unto them, placing so much confidence in them, and treating them as his bosom friends; for this is always reckoned a great instance of friendship,

Job 15:15; and yet their minds were set against him; their affections were alienated from him; they abhorred the sight of him, and declined all conversation with him, even all of them; not one showed respect unto him:

and they whom I loved; or "this whom I loved" n; this and that and the other particular friend, that he loved more than others: though all men are to be loved as the creatures of God, and as fellow creatures, and especially good men, even all the saints; yet there are some that engross a greater share of love than others, among natural and spiritual relations; as Joseph was more loved by his father than the rest of his children; and, even by our Lord, John was loved more than the other disciples: and so Job, he had some particular friends that he loved above others; and yet these not only turned away from him in the time of his adversity, and turned their backs on him, and would have nothing to say to him for his comfort, nor afford him any relief of any kind in his distress, but

are turned against men; were turned against him, and became his enemies; and, as David says of some that he had a love for, for my love, "they are my adversaries", Psalms 109:4.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

All my inward friends - Margin, “the men of my secret.” The meaning is those, who were admitted to the intimacy of friendship or who were permitted to be acquainted with his secret thoughts, purposes, and plans. The word uses here (סוד sôd) denotes properly “a couch, cushions, pillow,” on which one reclines; then a “divan,” a circle of persons sitting together for consultation or conversation; and hence, it refers to those who are sitting together in intimate counsel, (see Job 15:8, note; Job 29:4, note) and then familiar conversation, intimacy. Here the phrase “men of my intimacy” (סודי sôdı̂y) denotes those who were admitted to intimate friendship. All such persons had now forsaken him, and turned against him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 19:19. My inward friends — Those who were my greatest intimates.
