8. Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me. If ever we need friends it is in the dreary hour of despondency and the
weary time of bodily sickness. Thou hast made me an abomination unto them.
They turned from him as though he had become loathsome and contaminating, and
this because of something which the Lord had done to him; therefore, he brings
his complaint to the prime mover in his trouble. I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. He was a prisoner in his room, and felt like a condemned
criminal in his cell. When God shuts friends out, and shuts us in to pine away
alone, it is no wonder if we water our couch with tears.
