Job 30

New American Standard Bible 1995

Job’s Present State Is Humiliating

1“But nowH6258 thoseH6810 youngerH6810 thanH4480 I 1mockH7832 me, WhoseH834 fathersH1 I disdainedH3988 to putH7896 with the dogsH3611 of my flockH6629.2IndeedH1571, whatH4100 good was the strengthH3581 of their handsH3027 to me? VigorH3624 had perishedH6 from them.3From wantH2639 and famineH3720 they are gauntH1565 Who gnawH6207 the dryH6723 ground by nightH570 in wasteH7724 and desolationH4875,4Who pluckH6998 2mallowH4408 by the bushesH7880, And whose foodH3899 is the rootH8328 of the broomH7574 shrubH7574.5They are drivenH1644 from the communityH1460; They shoutH7321 againstH5921 them as against a thiefH1590,6So that they dwellH7931 in dreadfulH6178 3valleysH5158, In holesH2356 of the earthH6083 and of the rocksH3710.7AmongH996 the bushesH7880 they 4cryH5101 out; UnderH8478 the nettlesH2738 they are gatheredH5596 togetherH5596.85FoolsH1121H5036, evenH1571 6thoseH1121 withoutH1097 a nameH8034, They were scourgedH5217 from the landH776.

9“And nowH6258 I have becomeH1961 their 78tauntH5058, I have even becomeH1961 a 9bywordH4405 to them.10They abhorH8581 me and standH7368 aloofH7368 from me, And they do not 10refrainH2820 from 11spittingH7536 at my faceH6440.11BecauseH3588 12He has loosedH6605 13His 14bowstringH3499 and 15afflictedH6031 me, They have castH7971 offH7971 16the bridleH7448 beforeH4480H6440 me.12On the rightH3225 handH3225 their 17broodH6526 arisesH6965; They 18thrustH7971 aside my feetH7272 19and buildH5549 up againstH5921 me their waysH734 of destructionH343.13They 20breakH5420 up my pathH5410, They profitH3276 21from my destructionH1942; NoH3808 one restrainsH5826 them.14As through a wideH7342 breachH6556 they comeH857, 22AmidH8478 the tempestH7724 they rollH1556 on.1523TerrorsH1091 are turnedH2015 againstH5921 me; They pursueH7291 my 24honorH5082 as the windH7307, And my 25prosperityH3444 has passedH5674 awayH5674 26like a cloudH5645.

16“And nowH6258 27my soulH5315 is pouredH8210 out 28withinH5921 me; DaysH3117 of afflictionH6040 have seizedH270 me.17At nightH3915 it piercesH5365 29my bonesH6106 30withinH4480H5921 me, And my gnawingH6207 pains takeH7901 noH3808 restH7901.18By a greatH7230 forceH3581 my garmentH3830 is 31distortedH2664; It bindsH247 me about as the collarH6310 of my coatH3801.19He has castH3384 me into the 32mireH2563, And I have becomeH4911 likeH4911 dustH6083 and ashesH665.20I 33cryH7768 out to You for helpH7768, but You do not answerH6030 me; I standH5975 up, and You turnH995 Your attentionH995 against me.21You have 34becomeH2015 cruelH393 to me; With the mightH6108 of Your handH3027 You 35persecuteH7852 me.22You 36liftH5375 me up to the windH7307 and cause me to rideH7392; And You dissolveH4127 me in a stormH8663.23For I knowH3045 that You 37will bringH7725 me to deathH4194 And to the 38houseH1004 of meetingH4150 for allH3605 livingH2416.

24“YetH389 does not one in a heapH5856 of ruinsH5856 stretchH7971 out his handH3027, OrH518 in his disasterH6365 thereforeH3651 39cryH7769 out for helpH7769?25Have I not 40weptH1058 for the 41one whose lifeH3117 is hardH7186? Was not my soulH5315 grievedH5701 for 42the needyH34?26WhenH3588 I 43expectedH6960 goodH2896, then evilH7451 cameH935; When I waitedH3176 for lightH216, 44then darknessH652 cameH935.2745I am seethingH7570 46withinH4578 and cannotH3808 relaxH1826; DaysH3117 of afflictionH6040 confrontH6923 me.28I goH1980 about 4748mourningH6937 withoutH3808 comfort; I standH6965 up in the assemblyH6951 and 49cryH7768 out for helpH7768.29I have becomeH1961 a brotherH251 to 50jackalsH8565 And a companionH7453 of ostrichesH1323H3284.30My 51skinH5785 turnsH7835 blackH7835 52on me, And my 53bonesH6106 burnH2787 with 54feverH2721.31Therefore my 55harpH3658 56is turnedH1961 to mourningH60, And my fluteH5748 to the soundH6963 of those who weepH1058.
