14 They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.
14 They advance as through a gaping breach; amid the ruins they come rolling in.
14 As through a wide breach they come; amid the crash they roll on.
14 They violate my broken body, trample through the rubble of my ruined life.
14 They come as broad breakers; Under the ruinous storm they roll along.
14 They come at me from all directions. They jump on me when I am down.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 30:14
Commentary on Job 30:1-14
(Read Job 30:1-14)
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.
