Job 17:6

"Like. roller coaster, Job's emotions moved up and down rapidly. After requesting God to provide. bond for him, he accused God of making him. byword (literally,. proverb). In other words, people had been talking about his sufferings in. derogatory way. Not only did they deride him with their words; they even spat on him. What. picture of abject humiliation-a sick person, grieving over personal loss, chided by former friends, and then even rejected as. mangy, unwanted tramp by people who came to the garbage dump" (Zuck p. 79). This verse reveals that the view held by Job's friends, that is, Job was really. sinner, was. common view held by many other people.
