- Insight from Butler's Daily Bible Reading: Job 19—Abused (Job speaking). The abuse of Job is the theme here. •Accursed by his friends (vv. 1–6): his three friends are vexing him with their continuous accusations. •Afflicted by God (vv. 7–12): Job keeps blaming God for his troubles. •Abandoned by others (vv. 13–24): his kinfolk, wife, friends, servants, and children have all forsaken him in his troubles. •Abiding in God (vv. 25–27): faulty as his faith is at times, here it remains steadfast in trouble. •Admonition for persecutors (vv. 28, 29): a warning to his three friends.
