Context of Job 30:10
8They are the sons of [worthless and nameless] fools, They have been driven out of the land. 9“And now I have become [the subject of] their taunting; Yes, I am a byword and a laughingstock to them. They hate me, they stand aloof from me, And do not refrain from spitting in my face. 11For God has loosed His bowstring [attacking me] and [He has] afflicted and humbled me; They have cast off the bridle [of restraint] before me. 12On my right the [rabble] brood rises; They push my feet away, and they build up their ways of destruction against me [like an advancing army].
