Job 30:1-10

1“But nowH6258 thoseH6810 who are youngerH6810H3117 thanH4480 I 1mockH7832 me, WhoseH834 fathersH1 I refusedH3988 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 povertyH2639 and famineH3720 they are gauntH1565, They who gnawH6207 at the dryH6723 ground by nightH570 in wasteH7724 and desolationH4875,4Who pluckH6998 saltweedH4408 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 liveH7931 on the slopesH6178 of ravinesH5158, In holesH2356 in the groundH6083 and among the rocksH3710.7AmongH996 the bushesH7880 they 2cryH5101 out; UnderH8478 the weedsH2738 they are gatheredH5596 togetherH5596.8WorthlessH5036 3fellowsH1121, evenH1571 4thoseH1121 withoutH1097 a nameH8034, They were castH5217 outH5217 from the landH776.

9“And nowH6258 I have becomeH1961 their 56tauntH5058, And I have becomeH1961 a 78bywordH4405 to them.10They loatheH8581 me and standH7368 aloofH7368 from me, And they do not 9refrainH2820 from 10spittingH7536 in my faceH6440.
