Job 30:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 30:8

6 They had to live in the clefts of the¹ valleys,
In¹ caves of the earth and the rocks.

7 Among the bushes they brayed,
Under the nettles they nestled.

8 They were sons of fools,
Yes, sons of vile men;
They were scourged from the land.

9 “And^a now I am their taunting song;
Yes, I am their byword.

10 They abhor me, they keep far from me;
They do not hesitate ^ato spit in my face.

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.
