Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 30:10

_ _ 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 (Isaiah 50:6; Matthew 26:67).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 30:1-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 30:10

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.
