They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 30 of Job. Job contrasts his former authority with his present humiliation before men whom he would once have considered inferior. He describes mockery, contempt, and loss of dignity. The social reversal intensifies his suffering: the one who once protected others now becomes an object of ridicule. The book thus shows that suffering affects identity, relationships, and social recognition.

Sie haben meine Steige zerbrochen; es war ihnen so leicht, mich zu beschädigen, daß sie keiner Hilfe dazu bedurften.
Mi senda desbarataron, Aprovecháronse de mi quebrantamiento, Contra los cuales no hubo ayudador.
Desbaratan mi sendero y contribuyen a mi ruina, sin que nadie los ayude.
Ils détruisent mon propre sentier et travaillent à ma perte, Eux à qui personne ne viendrait en aide;
Hanno tagliato il mio cammino, si avanzano alla mia perdizione, Niuno li aiuta;
Desbaratam-me o caminho; promovem a minha miséria; contra eles não há ajudador.
他們毀壞我的道, 加增我的災害; 他們毋須人幫助。
