Job 30:13

Job 30:13

Compare all

11 Because ^aHe has loosed my bowstring and afflicted me,
They have cast off restraint before me.

12 At my right hand the rabble arises;
They push away my feet,
And ^athey raise against me their ways of destruction.

13 They break up my path,
They promote my calamity;
They have no helper.

14 They come as broad breakers;
Under the ruinous storm they roll along.

15 Terrors are turned upon me;
They pursue my honor as the wind,
And my prosperity has passed like a cloud.

Adam Clarke

<< Job 30:12

Job 30:14 >>

They mar my path - They destroy the way-marks, so that there is no safety in travelling through the deserts, the guide-posts and way-marks being gone. These may be an allusion here to a besieged city: the besiegers strive by every means and way to distress the besieged; stopping up the fountains, breaking up the road, raising up towers to project arrows and stones into the city, called here raising up against it the ways of destruction, Job 30:12; preventing all succor and support.

They have no helper - " There is not an adviser among them." - Mr. Good. There is none to give them better instruction.
