Job 30:10

Job 30:10

Compare all

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.

in my face—rather, refrain not to spit in deliberate contempt before my face. To spit at all in presence of another is thought in the East insulting, much more so when done to mark "abhorrence." Compare the further insult to Jesus Christ (Isaiah 50:6; Matthew 26:67).
