Imagine you're playing with your friends and you fall and hurt your knee. Your friends see you in pain but instead of coming to help, they get scared and run away. Job is saying that's how his friends are acting towards him.
Historical Background
The book of Job was written during the Old Testament period, possibly around the time of the Patriarchs. It is an ancient story that deals with the problem of suffering. Job's friends, who are supposed to support him, seem to be more concerned with their own fears and feelings.
