His troops advance together; they construct a ramp against me and encamp around my tent.
He hath put my brethren far from me,.... As it is one part of business in war to cut off all communication between the enemy and their confederates and auxiliaries, and to hinder them of all the help and assistance from them they can; so Job here represents God dealing with him as with an enemy, and therefore keeps at a distance from him all...
His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle. (g) His manifold afflictions.
Job 19:12-15 12 His troops came together, And threw up their way against me, And encamped round about my tent. 13 My brethren hath He removed far from me, And my acquaintance are quite estranged from me. 14 My kinsfolk fail, And those that knew me have forgotten me.
