“My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children’s sake of mine own body.”
"My breath is strange to my wife, and I am loathsome to the children of my own body." Even his wife finds his breath strange—his very being is alien to her. His own children find him loathsome. The verse expresses that familial bonds are broken at the deepest level. Job is rejected by his own flesh.
