נָתְס֗וּ נְֽתִיבָ֫תִ֥י
break_up path,my
Job is speaking as if there were literally a path that he could take to escape from the attacks of these young men and that they are destroying it so that Job cannot use it. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “They prevent me from escaping”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לְהַוָּתִ֥י יֹעִ֑ילוּ
to,destruction,my promote
Job is speaking as if calamity were literally an object that these young men could move forward, farther along its route to a destination. He means that in addition to all the bad things that have happened to him, they do further bad things to him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they add to my sufferings”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לֹ֖א עֹזֵ֣ר לָֽמוֹ
not help they,them
This could mean: (1) that they do despicable things to Job that no decent person would join them in doing. Alternate translation: “they do things to me that no decent person would do” (2) that they are contemptible people. This may be a popular expression indicating that. Alternate translation: “they are contemptible people”
30:12-14 The series of images presented here is drawn from a military advance against a fortified city. Job had already used this image for God’s attack on him (19:10-12).
• The word translated traps might refer to siege ramps raised against a city’s walls.
