Job 30:13 - Exposition

They mar my path ; i.e . interfere with and frustrate whatever I am bent on doing. They set forward my calamity , Professor Lee translates, "They profit by my ruin." They have no helper . If the text is sound, we must understand, "They do all this, they dare all this, even though they have no powerful men to aid them." But it is suspected that there is some corruption in the passage, and that the original gave the sense which is found in the Vulgate," There is none to help me."
