Context of Job 30:10
8They were foolish people that nobody respected. People chased them away from their land. 9But now their sons sing songs that insult me. They tell jokes about me. They hate me and they do not come near me. When they see me, they spit at my face. 11God has made me weak and helpless. People do to me anything that they want to do. 12From one side, the crowd attacks me. They make me run away. They are like an army that builds a road to come and attack me.
