Job 19,17

LonelinessMarriage

15 Beboerne i mitt hus og mine tjenestepiker betrakter meg som en fremmed;
jeg er en utlending i deres øyne.

16 Jeg roper til min tjener, men han svarer ikke;
jeg må bønnfalle ham med min egen munn.

Min ånde er motbydelig for min kone,
og jeg er avskyelig for min egen familie.

18 Selv små barn forakter meg;
når jeg reiser meg, taler de imot meg.

19 Alle mine nære venner avskyr meg;
de jeg elsker har vendt seg mot meg.

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.
