Job 30:1-14

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.
