Job 30:1-14

1“But nowH6258 they mock meH7832H5921, men youngerH6810 than I amH4480H3117, whoseH834 fathersH1 I would have refusedH3988 to putH7896 withH5973 my sheepH6629 dogsH3611.2What useH4100 to meH5921 was the strengthH3581 of their handsH3027, since their vigorH3624 had left themH6?3GauntH1565 from povertyH2639 and hungerH3720, they gnawedH6207 the dry landH6723, and the desolateH7722 wastelandH4875 by nightH570.4They pluckedH6998 mallowH4408 amongH5921 the shrubsH7880, and the rootsH8328 of the broom treeH7574 were their foodH3899.15They were banishedH1644 fromH4480 amongH1460 men, shoutedH7321 atH5921 like thievesH1590,6so that they livedH7931 on the slopesH6178 of the wadisH5158, among the rocksH3710 and in holesH2356 in the groundH6083.7They cried outH5101 amongH996 the shrubsH7880 and huddledH5596 beneathH8478 the nettlesH2738.8A senselessH5036 andH1571 namelessH1097H8034 broodH1121, they were drivenH5217 offH4480 the landH776.

9And nowH6258 they mock me in songH1961H5058;I have becomeH1961 a bywordH4405 among them.10They abhor meH8581 and keep farH7368 from meH4480;they do notH3808 hesitateH2820 to spitH7536 in my faceH6440.11BecauseH3588 God has unstrungH6605 my bowH3499 and afflicted meH6031,they have cast offH7971 restraintH74482 in my presenceH6440.12The rabbleH6526 arisesH6965 atH5921 my rightH3225;they lay snaresH7971 for my feetH7272and buildH5549 siege rampsH734H343 against meH5921.13They tear upH5420 my pathH5410;they profitH3276 from my destructionH1942,with no oneH3808 to restrainH5826 them.314They advanceH857 as through a wideH7342 breachH6556;throughH8478 the ruinsH7722 they keep rolling inH1556.
