Giobbe 30:13

13 Hanno tagliato il mio cammino, si avanzano alla mia perdizione, Niuno li aiuta;

Giobbe 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 ) .

Giobbe 30:13 In-Context

11 Perciocchè Iddio ha sciolto il mio legame, e mi ha afflitto; Laonde essi hanno scosso il freno, per non riverir più la mia faccia.

12 I giovanetti si levano contro a me dalla man destra, mi spingono i piedi, E si appianano le vie contro a me, per traboccarmi in ruina;

13 Hanno tagliato il mio cammino, si avanzano alla mia perdizione, Niuno li aiuta;

14 Sono entrati come per una larga rottura, Si sono rotolati sotto le ruine.

15 Spaventi si son volti contro a me, Perseguitano l’anima mia come il vento; E la mia salvezza è passata via come una nuvola.
