Job 19:13

11 His anger burns against me, and He counts me among His enemies.

12 His troops advance together; they construct a ramp against me and encamp around my tent.

He has removed my brothers from me; my acquaintances have abandoned me.

14 My kinsmen have failed me, and my friends have forgotten me.

15 My guests and maidservants count me as a stranger; I am a foreigner in their sight.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
