my=breath/wind/spirit offensive to,wife,my

This could mean: (1) that Job is using one part of himself, his breath, to mean all of himself. In verses 13–19, Job is talking about how all of his friends and relatives now treat him as if they did not know him. In verses 13 and 15, Job uses words related to the word that the ULT translates as strange in this verse. Alternate translation: “I am like a stranger to my wife” (2) that Job is referring literally to his breath and saying that because of his sickness, it smells bad and is offensive to his wife. Alternate translation: “Because of my sickness, my breath smells bad and is offensive to my wife”
