They mar my path, They set forward my calamity, without anyone’s help.

They mar my path. They promote my destruction without anyone’s help.
They tear up my path; they profit from my destruction, with no one to restrain them.
They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.
They mar my path, They set forward my calamity, [Even] men that have no helper.
They have made waste my roads, with a view to my destruction; his bowmen come round about me;
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
Matthew Henry · Verses 1–14
Job contrasts his present condition with his former honour and authority. What little cause have men to be ambitious or proud of that which may be so easily lost, and what little confidence is to be put in it! We should not be cast down if we are despised, reviled, and hated by wicked men. We should look to Jesus, who endured the contradiction of sinners.
