Job 30:12

Job 30:12

Compare all

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.

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

youth—rather, a (low) brood. To rise on the right hand is to accuse, as that was the position of the accuser in court (Zechariah 3:1; Psalms 109:6).

push . . . feet—jostle me out of the way (Job 24:4).

ways of—that is, their ways of (that is, with a view to my) destruction. Image, as in Job 19:12, from a besieging army throwing up a way of approach for itself to a city.
