Job 30

1But nowH6258 they that are youngerH6810 than I have me in derision, Whose fathersH1 I disdained to setH7896 with the dogsH3611 of my flockH6629.2Yea, the strengthH3581 of their handsH3027, whereto should it profit me? Men in whom ripe age is perishedH6.3They are gaunt with want and famine; They gnaw the dryH6723 ground, in the gloom of wasteness and desolationH4875.4They pluckH6998 salt-wort by the bushesH7880; And the rootsH8328 of the broomH7574 are their foodH3899.5They are drivenH1644 forth from the midst of men; They cryH7321 after them as after a thiefH1590;6So that they dwellH7931 in frightful valleys, In holesH2356 of the earthH6083 and of the rocksH3710.7Among the bushesH7880 they brayH5101; Under the nettlesH2738 they are gathered together.8They arechildren of foolsH5036, yea, children of base men; They were scourged out of the landH776.9And nowH6258 I amH1961 becomeH1961 their songH5058, Yea, I amH1961 a byword unto them.10They abhorH8581 me, they stand aloof from me, And spare not to spit in my faceH6440.11For he hath loosed his cord, and afflicted me; And they have cast off the bridle before me.12Upon my rightH3225 handH3225 riseH6965 the rabble; They thrust aside my feetH7272, And they cast up against me their waysH734 of destruction.13They mar my pathH5410, They set forward my calamity, Even men that have no helperH5826.14As through a wideH7342 breachH6556 they comeH857: In the midst of the ruin they rollH1556 themselves upon me.15TerrorsH1091 are turnedH2015 upon me; They chase mine honor as the windH7307; And my welfare is passedH5674 away as a cloudH5645.16And nowH6258 my soulH5315 is pouredH8210 out within me; DaysH3117 of affliction have takenH270 holdH270 upon me.17In the nightH3915 season my bonesH6106 are pierced in me, And thepainsthat gnaw me take no restH7901.18By God’sgreatH7227 force is my garment disfigured; It bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.19He hath cast me into the mire, And I am become like dustH6083 and ashesH665.20I cryH7768 unto thee, and thou dost not answerH6030 me: I standH5975 up, and thou gazest at me.21Thou art turnedH2015 to be cruelH393 to me; With the might of thy handH3027 thou persecutest me.22Thou liftest me up to the windH7307, thou causest me to rideH7392upon it; And thou dissolvest me in the storm.23For I knowH3045 that thou wilt bringH7725 me to deathH4194, And to the houseH1004 appointedH4150 for all living.24Howbeit doth not one stretchH7971 out the handH3027 in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?25Did not I weepH1058 for him that was in trouble? Was not my soulH5315 grieved for the needyH34?26When I looked for goodH2896, then evilH7451 cameH935; And when I waitedH3176 for lightH216, there cameH935 darknessH652.27My heart is troubled, and resteth not; DaysH3117 of affliction are comeH6923 upon me.28I goH1980 mourningH6937 without the sunH2535: I standH6965 up in the assemblyH6951, and cryH7768 for helpH7768.29I amH1961 a brotherH251 to jackalsH8577, And a companionH7453 to ostrichesH3284.30My skinH5785 is black, and fallethfrom me, And my bonesH6106 are burnedH2787 with heat.31Therefore isH1961 my harpH3658turnedto mourningH60, And my pipe into the voiceH6963 of them that weepH1058.
