Job 30
Revised Version 1895
1But nowH6258 they that are youngerH6810 thanH4480 I have meH5921 in derision, whoseH834 fathersH1 I disdained to setH7896 with the dogsH3611 of my flockH6629. 2Yea, the strengthH3581 of their handsH3027, whereto should it profit meH5921? men in whom ripe age is perishedH6. 3They are gauntH1565 with wantH2639 and famineH3720; they gnawH6207 the dryH6723 ground; in the gloom of wasteness and desolationH4875. 4They pluckH6998 salt-wort by the bushesH7880; and the rootsH8328 of the broomH7574 are their meat. 5They are drivenH1644 forth from the midst of men; they cryH7321 afterH4480 them as afterH4480 a thiefH1590. 6In the clefts of the valleysH5158 must they dwellH7931, in holesH2356 of the earthH6083 and of the rocksH3710. 7Among the bushesH7880 they brayH5101; underH8478 the nettlesH2738 they are gatheredH5596 togetherH8478. 8They are childrenH1121 of foolsH5036, yea, childrenH1121 of base menH1121; they were scourgedH5217 outH4480 of the landH776. 9And nowH6258 I am becomeH1961 their songH5058, yea, I am a bywordH4405 unto them. 10They abhorH8581 meH6440, they standH7368 aloofH7368 from meH6440, and spareH2820 notH3808 to spit in my faceH6440. 11For he hath loosed his cord, and afflicted meH7971, and they have castH7971 offH7971 the bridleH7448 beforeH6440 meH7971. 12UponH5921 my rightH3225 handH3225 riseH6965 the rabble; they thrustH7971 aside my feetH7272, and they castH7971 upH6965 againstH5921 meH7971 their waysH734 of destructionH343. 13They mar my pathH5410, they set forward my calamityH1942, evenH3808 men that have noH3808 helperH5826. 14As through a wideH7342 breachH6556 they comeH857: in the midst of the ruin they rollH1556 themselves upon meH8478. 15TerrorsH1091 are turnedH2015 uponH5921 meH5921, they chaseH7291 mine honour as the windH7307; and my welfare is passedH5674 awayH2015 as a cloudH5645. 16And nowH6258 my soulH5315 is pouredH8210 outH8210 withinH5921 meH5315; daysH3117 of affliction have takenH270 holdH270 uponH5921 meH5315. 17In the nightH3915 season my bonesH6106 are pierced in meH5921, and the painsH6106 that gnawH6207 meH5921 takeH7901 noH3808 restH7901. 18By the greatH7227 force of my disease is my garmentH3830 disfigured: it bindeth me about as the collarH6310 of my coatH3801. 19He hath castH3384 me intoH6083 the mire, and I am become like dustH6083 and ashesH665. 20I cryH7768 unto thee, and thou dost notH3808 answerH6030 meH413: I standH5975 upH5975, and thou lookest at meH413. 21Thou art turnedH2015 to be cruelH393 to meH7852: with the might of thy handH3027 thou persecutest meH7852. 22Thou liftest meH413 upH5375 to the windH7307, thou causest meH413 to rideH7392 uponH413 it; and thou dissolvest meH413 in the storm. 23For I knowH3045 that thou wilt bringH7725 meH7725 to deathH4194, and to the houseH1004 appointedH4150 for allH3605 livingH2416. 24SurelyH389 againstH3027 a ruinous heap he will notH3808 putH7971 forthH7971 his handH3027; thoughH518 it be in his destruction, one may utter a cryH7769 becauseH3027 of these things. 25DidH3808 notH3808 I weepH1058 for him that was in trouble? was notH3808 my soulH5315 grievedH5701 for the needyH34? 26When I looked for goodH2896, then evilH7451 cameH935; and when I waitedH3176 for lightH216, there cameH935 darknessH652. 27My bowelsH4578 boilH7570, and rest notH3808; daysH3117 of affliction are comeH6923 upon meH3808. 28I goH1980 mourningH6937 withoutH3808 the sunH2535: I standH6965 upH6965 in the assemblyH6951, and cryH7768 for helpH7768. 29I am a brotherH251 to jackalsH8577, and a companionH7453 to ostrichesH3284. 30My skinH5785 is blackH7835, and falleth from meH5921, and my bonesH6106 are burnedH2787 with heat. 31Therefore is my harpH3658 turnedH1961 to mourningH60, and my pipeH5748 intoH1961 the voiceH6963 of them that weepH1058.
