Verse 14 is found in chapter 17 of Job. Job feels that he has become an object of contempt and that his hope seems to descend with him to the grave. His friends cannot offer him either an intellectual or emotional way out. The section intensifies the contrast between Job’s reputation for integrity and his public experience of shame and abandonment.
