Job 30:10 Context
8They were children of fooles, yea children of base men: they were viler then the earth. 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.

Wesley's Notes for Job 30:10
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.
