Job 30:11 Context
9And now am I their song, yea I am their by-word. 10They abhorre me, they flee farre from me, and spare not to spit in my face. 11Because hee hath loosed my cord and afflicted me, they haue also let loose the bridle before me. 12Upon my right hand rise the youth, they push away my feete, and they raise vp against mee the wayes of their destruction. 13They marre my path, they set forward my calamitie, they haue no helper.

Wesley's Notes for Job 30:11
30:11 He - God. Cord - Hath slackened the string of my bow, and so rendered my bow and arrows useless; he hath deprived me of my strength or defence. Let loose - They cast off all former restraints of humanity, or modesty, and do those things before mine eyes, which formerly they trembled lest they should come to my ears.
