John Trapp on Job 30:12

Verſe 12. Ʋpon the right hand riſe the youth] Brought on readeth, The Springals. The Hebrew hath it, The bloſſom, or the young birds the youngſters, Vix puberes, Such as are ſcarce out of the ſhel. the boyes ſcoffed and abuſed Job. The lawleſs rout, riding without raines, took a licentious boldneſſe to deſpiſe and deſpite him, becauſe he was ever moſt ſevere againſt their unruly practiſes.

They puſh away my feet] They trip up my heeles, as we phraſe it, and lay me along. Vide admirandam humanae ſortis varietatem, faith Brentius here: i.e. See the ſtrange turnes of humane condition. Job was wont to have the chief Seats in the Temple, and Salutations in the Market-place; now he cannot have a room my where to ſtand in, but every paltry boy is puſhing him down. May it not be ſaid of Job, as it was of that Emperour, that he was fortunae pila & luſus? But he ſaw God in all.

And they raiſe up againſt me the waie of their deſtruction] Allegoria [illegible: 1 letter]aſtr[illegible: 1 letter]nſi, Job borroweth this expreſſion from the Camp, as he doth many more from other things, whenſoever he ſpeaketh of his great afflictions, and the contempt that was caſt upon him. Ʋpon me they tread the paths of their unhappineſſe, ſo Beza; that is, they make a path in which they may practiſe that their malapert boldneſſe in doing miſchiefe. They beat their paths by running up and downe therein, to undo me, ſo Vatablus: They caſt upon me the cauſes of their wa[illegible: 1 letter]; ſo Broughton.
