Job 30:1-10

1But now they that areyounger than I hold me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.1

2Yea, to what might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age had perished?

3For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.23

4Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their food.

5They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)

6To dwell in the clefts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.4

7Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.

8They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.5

9And now I am their song, yea, I am their byword.

10They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.6
