They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
Job's suffering and rejection reached even into his own household, where those who lived in his house and his maids treated him as a stranger and alien. This household estrangement added to his abandonment by relatives, friends, and those he loved. This complaint belongs to his account of distress that also contains his assurance that he would see God.
He seemed forsaken by heaven and earth. He was in anguish and perplexity. Yet he held fast to his faith in God and his integrity.
