Lord, all my desire is before You;
And my sighing is not hidden from You.
My heart throbs, my strength fails me;
And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.
My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague;
And my kinsmen stand afar off.
Those who seek my life lay snares for me;
And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction,
And they devise treachery all day long.

We all know that Job’s three friends were false. And we know his wife tempted him to renounce the LORD and die.

But Job held regular feasts. What about all his real friends. Where were they in his time of trial?

As far as we can tell he was abandoned by every single person that he knew.

It makes me wonder, once Job was restored, how he felt about his invited guests at his feasts.
