I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 19 of Job. Job’s loneliness reaches an extreme dimension: brothers, friends, servants, and those close to him turn away. Even his own family rejects him. Job asks his friends at least to have compassion and stop pursuing him. The request is significant because the theological debate has also become a crisis of human solidarity.
