Job 30:13

13 Arruinan mi senda, a causa de mi destrucción se benefician, nadie los detiene.

Job 30:13 Meaning and Commentary

Job 30:13

They mar my path
Hindered him in the exercise of religious duties; would not suffer him to attend the ways and worship of God, or to walk in the paths of holiness and righteousness; or they reproached his holy walk and conversation, and treated it with contempt, and triumphed over religion and godliness:

they set forward my calamity;
added affliction to affliction, increased his troubles by their reproaches and calumnies, and were pleased with it, as if it was profitable as well as pleasurable to them, see ( Zechariah 1:15 ) ;

they have no helper;
either no person of note to join them, and, to abet, assist, and encourage them; or they needed none, being forward enough of themselves to give him all the distress and disturbance they could, and he being so weak and unable to resist them; nor there is "no helper against them" ^F17; none to take Job's part against them, and deliver him out of their hands, see ( Ecclesiastes 4:1 ) .

Job 30:13 In-Context

11 Por cuanto El ha aflojado la cuerda de su arco y me ha afligido, se han quitado el freno delante de mí.

12 A mi derecha se levanta el populacho , arrojan lazos a mis pies y preparan contra mí sus caminos de destrucción.

13 Arruinan mi senda, a causa de mi destrucción se benefician, nadie los detiene.

14 Como por ancha brecha vienen, en medio de la tempestad siguen rodando.

15 Contra mí se vuelven los terrores, como el viento persiguen mi honor, y como nube se ha disipado mi prosperidad.
