Job 30:12 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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

Youth - rather, a (low) brood х pirchach (H6526)]. To rise on the right hand is to accuse, as that was the position of the accuser in court (Zechariah 3:1; Psalms 109:6).

Push ... feet - jostle me out of the way (Job 24:4).

Ways of - i:e., their ways of (i:e., 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.

Job 30:12

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