Job 30:1-4

1But now they mock me, men younger than I am, whose fathers I would have refused to put with my sheep dogs.

2What use to me was the strength of their hands? Their vigor had left them.

3Emaciated from poverty and hunger, they gnawed the dry land, the desolate wasteland by night.

4They plucked mallow among the shrubs, and the roots of the broom tree were their food.
