job 6:14 To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.

job 6:14 "For the despairing man [there should be] kindness from his friend; Lest he forsake the fear of the Almighty.

14. pity--a proverb. Charity is the love which judges indulgently of our fellow men: it is put on a par with truth in Pr 3:3, for they together form the essence of moral perfection [UMBREIT]. It is the spirit of Christianity (1Pe 4:8; 1Co 13:7; Pr 10:12; 17:17). If it ought to be used towards all men, much more towards friends. But he who does not use it forsaketh (renounceth) the fear of the Almighty (Jas 2:13).

job 6:14 "For the despairing man [there should be] kindness from his friend; Lest he forsake the fear of the Almighty.
