Job 30:1-14
1But now they that are youngerH3117H6810 than I have me in derisionH7832, whose fathersH1 I would have disdainedH3988 to have setH7896 with the dogsH3611 of my flockH6629.1
2Yea, wheretoH4100 might the strengthH3581 of their handsH3027 profit me, in whom old ageH3624 was perishedH6?
3For wantH2639 and famineH3720 they were solitaryH1565; fleeingH6207 into the wildernessH6723 in former timeH570 desolateH7722 and wasteH4875.23
4Who cut upH6998 mallowsH4408 by the bushesH7880, and juniperH7574 rootsH8328 for their meatH3899.
5They were driven forthH1644 from amongH1460 men, (they criedH7321 after them as after a thiefH1590;)
6To dwellH7931 in the cliftsH6178 of the valleysH5158, in cavesH2356 of the earthH6083, and in the rocksH3710.4
7Among the bushesH7880 they brayedH5101; under the nettlesH2738 they were gathered togetherH5596.
8They were childrenH1121 of foolsH5036, yea, childrenH1121 of base menH8034: they were vilerH5217 than the earthH776.5
9And now am I their songH5058, yea, I am their bywordH4405.
10They abhorH8581 me, they flee farH7368 from me, and spareH2820 not to spitH7536 in my faceH6440.6
11Because he hath loosedH6605 my cordH3499, and afflictedH6031 me, they have also let looseH7971 the bridleH7448 beforeH6440 me.
12Upon my rightH3225 hand riseH6965 the youthH6526; they push awayH7971 my feetH7272, and they raise upH5549 against me the waysH734 of their destructionH343.
13They marH5420 my pathH5410, they set forwardH3276 my calamityH1962H1942, they have no helperH5826.
14They cameH857 upon me as a wideH7342 breakingH6556 in of waters: inH8478 the desolationH7722 they rolledH1556 themselves upon me.
