They break up my path; they promote my calamity; they have no need of a helper for it, depicting how the mockers actively work toward Job's destruction, removing any possibility of recovery and requiring no external support to accomplish his ruin. The breaking of his path suggests the removal of any way forward. The promotion of calamity suggests deliberate actions advancing his downfall. The assertion that they need no helper emphasizes that Job's destruction appears inevitable given the forces arrayed against him. The verse emphasizes the completeness of the onslaught against Job.
