12 On the right hand their [a]mob arises;
They (A)push aside my feet (B)and pile up their ways of destruction against me.
13 They (C)break up my path,
They promote my destruction;
No one restrains them.
14 As through a wide gap they come,
[b]Amid the storm they roll on.
15 (D)Sudden terrors are turned upon me;
They chase away my dignity like the wind,
And my [c]prosperity has passed away (E)like a cloud.

  1. Job 30:12 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain.

12 Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.

13 They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.

14 They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.

15 Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.
