Commentary on Job 16:7 (Summary)

Job 16:7 (ESV)

7 Surely now God has worn me out; he has made desolate all my company.

Job gives up all hope of receiving comfort from his friends. Their rigid convictions have estranged them from him. God is now his only hope. Yet it is God who has destroyed his life!
