Context of Job 30:10
8They arechildren of fools, yea, children of base men; They were scourged out of the land. 9And now I am become their song, Yea, I am a byword unto them. They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, And spare not to spit in my face. 11For he hath loosed his cord, and afflicted me; And they have cast off the bridle before me. 12Upon my right hand rise the rabble; They thrust aside my feet, And they cast up against me their ways of destruction.
