Job 30:1-4

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

2Of what use was the strength of their hands to me, since their vigor had gone from them?

3Haggard from want and hunger, they roamed the parched land in desolate wastelands at night.

4In the brush they gathered salt herbs, and their food was the root of the broom bush.
