Job 30:12

Verse 12 of 31. The 30th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

8They are children of fools, yes, children of wicked men. They were flogged out of the land.

9“Now I have become their song. Yes, I am a byword to them.

10They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, and don’t hesitate to spit in my face.

11For he has untied his cord, and afflicted me; and they have thrown off restraint before me.

12On my right hand rise the rabble. They thrust aside my feet. They cast their ways of destruction up against me.

13They mar my path. They promote my destruction without anyone’s help.

14As through a wide breach they come. They roll themselves in amid the ruin.

15Terrors have turned on me. They chase my honor as the wind. My welfare has passed away as a cloud.

16“Now my soul is poured out within me. Days of affliction have taken hold of me.
