Job's repetition of the phrase underscores his desperate need for empathy and understanding from his friends. In the ancient Near Eastern context, friendship was a covenantal relationship, often involving mutual support and loyalty. Job's appeal highlights the breakdown of this expected support system, as his friends have instead chosen to accuse and judge him. This plea serves as a reminder of the importance of compassion and empathy in human relationships, especially during times of suffering.<p><b>for the hand of God has struck me</b><br />The phrase "the hand of God" is a powerful metaphor used throughout the Bible to denote God's power and authority. In Hebrew, "יָד" (yad) is often used to symbolize strength and action. Job acknowledges that his suffering is not merely a result of natural causes or human actions but is perceived as a direct intervention by God. This acknowledgment reflects the ancient belief in divine sovereignty over all aspects of life, including suffering. Job's statement is a profound expression of his struggle to reconcile his understanding of God's justice with his personal experience of undeserved suffering. It invites readers to reflect on the mystery of divine providence and the challenge of maintaining faith amidst trials.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/job/19.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(21) <span class= "bld">Have pity upon me.</span>--Now comes once more an exceeding great and bitter cry. (Comp. <a href="/job/16-20.htm" title="My friends scorn me: but my eye pours out tears to God.">Job 16:20</a>.)<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/job/19.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 21.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O my friends</span>. On the enumeration of his various woes, Job's appeal for pity follows. We must not regard it as addressed merely to the three so-called "friends" (<a href="/job/2-11.htm">Job 2:11</a>) or "comforters" (<a href="/job/16-2.htm">Job 16:2</a>), Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar. It is an appeal to all those who are around him and about him, whose sympathies have been bither to estranged (vers. 13-19), but whose regard he does not despair of winning back. Will they not, when they perceive the extremity and variety of his sufferings, be moved to compassion by them, and commiserate him in his day of calamity? <span class="cmt_word">For the hand of God hath touched me</span>. To the "comforters" this is no argument. They deem him unworthy of pity on the very ground that he is "smitten of God, and afflicted" (<a href="/isaiah/53-4.htm">Isaiah 53:4</a>); since they hold that, being so smitten, he must have' deserved his calamity. But to unprejudiced persons, not wedded to a theory, such an aggravation of his woe would naturally seem to render him a greater object of pity and compassion. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/job/19-21.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Have pity on me,</span><br /><span class="heb">חָנֻּ֬נִי</span> <span class="translit">(ḥān·nu·nî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb -
