Job 30:14 Context
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. 15Terrours are turned vpon mee: they pursue my soule as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloude. 16And now my soule is powred out vpon me: the dayes of affliction haue taken hold vpon me.
