Verse in Context
Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:
Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake
All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned
My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched
Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
