Job 6:15-22

15My abrothers are btreacherous as a torrent-bed,
as torrential cstreams that pass away,
16which are dark with ice,
and where the snow hides itself.
17When they melt, they disappear;
when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
18The caravans turn aside from their course;
they go up into dthe waste and perish.
19The caravans of eTema look,
the travelers of fSheba hope.
20They are gashamed because they were confident;
they come there and are hdisappointed.
21For you have now become nothing;
you see my calamity and are afraid.
22Have I said, ‘Make me a gift’?
Or, ‘From your wealth offer a bribe for me’?

Job 19:13-16

13 “He has put my ibrothers far from me,
and jthose who knew me are wholly estranged from me.
14My relatives khave failed me,
my close lfriends have forgotten me.
15The guests min my house and my maidservants count me as a stranger;
I have become a foreigner in their eyes.
16I call to my servant, but he gives me no answer;
I must plead with him with my mouth for mercy.

Psalms 38:11

11My nfriends and companions ostand aloof from my pplague,
and my nearest kin qstand far off.

I tlooked for upity, but there was none,
and for vcomforters, but I found none.

Psalms 88:18

18You have caused wmy beloved and my friend to shun me;
my companions have become darkness.
Or darkness has become my only companion

Lamentations 1:19

19 “I called to ymy lovers,
but they deceived me;
my priests and elders
perished in the city,
while zthey sought food
to revive their strength.

Ezekiel 34:5-6

5 aaSo they were scattered, because there was no shepherd, and abthey became food for all the wild beasts. My sheep were scattered; 6they wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. My sheep were scattered over all the face of the earth, acwith none to search or seek for them.
