Job’s Plea for a Redeemer: Chapter 19

Job responds to Bildad in chapter 19 in an outburst that is more despairing than anything we have yet heard from him. This is no longer Job from the land of Uz crying out. This is Everyman who has had a pleasant life snatched from him and replaced with misery and loss. The real-life Job has no surviving children and no servants, but nonetheless in chapter 19 he laments,

My friends have forgotten me,

My dependents and maidservants respond to me as a stranger.

Summon my servant but he does not respond …

My odor is repulsive to my wife, I am loathsome to my children. (19:15–17)
