Clarke's Job 19:19 Bible Commentary
My inward friends - Those who were my greatest intimates.
Barnes's Job 19:19 Bible Commentary
All my inward friends - Margin, "the men of my secret." The meaning is those, who were admitted to the intimacy of friendship or who were permitted to be acquainted with his secret thoughts, purposes, and plans. The word uses here (סוד sôd) denotes properly "a couch, cushions, pillow," on which one reclines; then a "divan," a circle of persons sitting together for consultation or conversation; and hence, it refers to those who are sitting together in intimate counsel, (see Job 15:8, note; Job 29:4, note) and then familiar conversation, intimacy. Here the phrase "men of my intimacy" (סודי sôdı̂y) denotes those who were admitted to intimate friendship. All such persons had now forsaken him, and turned against him.
Wesley's Job 19:19 Bible Commentary
19:19 Inward - My intimates and confidants, to whom I imparted all my thoughts and counsels.
