Job 30:12-13

     12. youth—rather, a (low) brood. To rise on the right hand is to accuse, as that was the position of the accuser in court (Zec 3:1; Ps 109:6).

      push . . . feet—jostle me out of the way (Job 24:4).

      ways of—that is, their ways of (that is, with a view to my) destruction. Image, as in Job 19:12, from a besieging army throwing up a way of approach for itself to a city.

     13. Image of an assailed fortress continued. They tear up the path by which succor might reach me.

      set forward— (Zec 1:15).

      they have no helper—Arabic proverb for contemptible persons. Yet even such afflict Job.
