Job 30

1But now they that are younger^H6810 than I have me in derision^H7832, Whose fathers^H1 I disdained^H3988 to set^H7896 with the dogs^H3611 of my flock^H6629. 2Yea, the strength^H3581 of their hands^H3027, whereto^H4100 should it profit me? Men in whom ripe age^H3624 is perished^H6. 3They are gaunt^H1565 with want^H2639 and famine^H3720; They gnaw^H6207 the dry ground^H6723, in the gloom^H570 of wasteness^H4875 and desolation^H7722. 4They pluck^H6998 salt-wort^H4408 by the bushes^H7880; And the roots^H8328 of the broom^H7574 are their food^H3899. 5They are driven forth^H1644 from the midst^H1460 of men; They cry^H7321 after them as after a thief^H1590; 6So that they dwell^H7931 in frightful^H6178 valleys^H5158, In holes^H2356 of the earth^H6083 and of the rocks^H3710. 7Among the bushes^H7880 they bray^H5101; Under the nettles^H2738 they are gathered together^H5596. 8 They are children^H1121 of fools^H5036, yea, children^H1121 of base men^H8034; They were scourged^H5217 out of the land^H776. 9And now I am become their song^H5058, Yea, I am a byword^H4405 unto them. 10They abhor^H8581 me, they stand aloof^H7368 from me, And spare^H2820 not to spit^H7536 in my face^H6440. 11For he hath loosed^H6605 his cord^H3499, and afflicted^H6031 me; And they have cast^H7971 off the bridle^H7448 before^H6440 me. 12Upon my right^H3225 hand rise^H6965 the rabble^H6526; They thrust aside^H7971 my feet^H7272, And they cast up^H5549 against me their ways^H734 of destruction^H343. 13They mar^H5420 my path^H5410, They set forward^H3276 my calamity^H1942, Even men that have no helper^H5826. 14As through a wide^H7342 breach^H6556 they come^H857: In the midst^H8478 of the ruin^H7722 they roll^H1556 themselves upon me. 15Terrors^H1091 are turned^H2015 upon me; They chase^H7291 mine honor^H5082 as the wind^H7307; And my welfare^H3444 is passed away^H5674 as a cloud^H5645. 16And now my soul^H5315 is poured out^H8210 within me; Days^H3117 of affliction^H6040 have taken hold^H270 upon me. 17In the night season^H3915 my bones^H6106 are pierced^H5365 in me, And the pains that gnaw^H6207 me take no rest^H7901. 18By God's great^H7230 force^H3581 is my garment^H3830 disfigured^H2664; It bindeth me about^H247 as the collar^H6310 of my coat^H3801. 19He hath cast^H3384 me into the mire^H2563, And I am become like^H4911 dust^H6083 and ashes^H665. 20I cry^H7768 unto thee, and thou dost not answer^H6030 me: I stand up^H5975, and thou gazest^H995 at me. 21Thou art turned^H2015 to be cruel^H393 to me; With the might^H6108 of thy hand^H3027 thou persecutest^H7852 me. 22Thou liftest me up^H5375 to the wind^H7307, thou causest me to ride^H7392 upon it; And thou dissolvest^H4127 me^H8454 in the storm. 23For I know^H3045 that thou wilt bring^H7725 me to death^H4194, And to the house^H1004 appointed^H4150 for all living^H2416. 24Howbeit doth not one stretch out^H7971 the hand^H3027 in his fall^H1164? Or in his calamity^H6365 therefore cry^H7769 for help? 25Did not I weep^H1058 for him that was in trouble^H7186? Was not my soul^H5315 grieved^H5701 for the needy^H34? 26When I looked^H6960 for good^H2896, then evil^H7451 came^H935; And when I waited^H3176 for light^H216, there came^H935 darkness^H652. 27My heart^H4578 is troubled^H7570, and resteth^H1826 not; Days^H3117 of affliction^H6040 are come upon^H6923 me. 28I go^H1980 mourning^H6937 without the sun^H2535: I stand up^H6965 in the assembly^H6951, and cry^H7768 for help. 29I am a brother^H251 to jackals^H8577, And a companion^H7453 to ostriches^H1323. 30My skin^H5785 is black^H7835, and falleth from me, And my bones^H6106 are burned^H2787 with heat^H2721. 31Therefore is my harp^H3658 turned to mourning^H60, And my pipe^H5748 into the voice^H6963 of them that weep^H1058.
