Study Lenses

The verse centers on "hath", "remooued", "brethre", "farre", "mine", "acquaintance", "strangers", and "vnto". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "hath" and "remooued", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 12's "His armies came together and made their..." into verse 14's "My neighbours haue forsaken me and my...", so "hath" and "remooued" belong inside that flow. In Job context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "hath" and "remooued" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
