Job 30:10

“They abhor me, etc.] As it is no wonder they should, since his inward and most intimate friends did, (<181919>Job 19:19); they abhorred him, not for any evil in him; Job was ready enough to abhor that himself, and himself for it, as he did when sensible of it, (<184206>Job 42:6); but for the good that was in him, spoken or done by him; which carried in it a reproof to them they could not bear; (see <300510>Amos 5:10); they abhorred him also because of his present meanness and poverty, and because of his afflictions and distresses; and particularly the diseases of his body; so Christ was abhorred by the Scribes, Pharisees and elders of the people, the three shepherds his soul loathed, and…”

“in my face--rather, refrain not to spit in deliberate contempt before my face. To spit at all in presence of another is thought in the East insulting, much more so when done to mark "abhorrence." Compare the further insult to Jesus Christ (Isa 50:6; Mat 26:67).”

“They abhor me - Hebrew, They regard me as abominable. They flee far from me - Even such an impious and low born race now will have nothing to do with me.

It is quite immaterial which interpretation is adopted, since in the view of Orientals the one was considered about the same as the other. In their notions of courtesy and urbanity, he commits an insult of…”

“Spit - Not literally, for they kept far from him, but figuratively, they use all manner of reproachful expressions, even to my face. Herein, also we see a type of Christ, who was thus made a reproach of men, and despised of the people. Job 30:11”

“30:10 won’t come near me: See also 19:13-15; cp. Ps 88:8; Prov 19:7; Matt 26:56. • To spit in someone’s face was to display revulsion or contempt (Deut 25:9; Isa 50:6; Matt 26:67; 27:30; Mark 14:65).”

“abhor me: Job 19:19, Job 42:6; Psa 88:8; Zac 11:8 flee far: Job 19:13, Job 19:14; Psa 88:8; Pro 19:7; Mat 26:56 spare not to spit in my face: Heb. withhold not spittle from my face, Num 12:14; Deu 25:9; Isa 50:6; Mat 26:67, Mat 27:30 Job 30:11”
