Job continues to speak to his three friends.
He has put my brothers far from me
"God caused my brothers to be far away from me." This image means that Job's brothers refuse to help him. AT: "God caused my brothers to refuse to help me." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
my acquaintances are wholly alienated from me
"my friends even treat me like they were strangers" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
My kinsfolk have failed me
"My relatives have left me without help"
my close friends
"my intimate friends"
have forgotten
refuse to treat a person according to former deeds and relationship. Job compares forgetting to refusal to help. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
