This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job_19:14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
Ver. 14. My kinsfolk have failed] scil. In courtesy, as Ruth’s kinsman did. Job had many kinsfolk, but few friends; and this was a great grief to him, as it was afterwards also to David, Psa_31:11; Psa_38:11; Psa_69:8; to Heman, Psa_88:8; and to Paul, 2Ti_4:16.
And my familiar friends] They whom I favoured, saith Broughton, according to Psa_11:7.
Have forgotten me] Out of sight out of mind. A thing forgotten is as if it had never been. All Job’s courtesies were cast away upon these summer birds, who had well nigh forgotten there was ever such a man in the world as Job.
