Job 30:12 Context
10They abhorre me, they flee farre from me, and spare not to spit in my face. 11Because hee hath loosed my cord and afflicted me, they haue also let loose the bridle before me. 12Upon my right hand rise the youth, they push away my feete, and they raise vp against mee the wayes of their destruction. 13They marre my path, they set forward my calamitie, they haue no helper. 14They came vpon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselues vpon me.
