Job  


30 : 1 But now theylaugh at me,men who areyounger than I,whose fathers I would have disdainedto set with the dogs of my flock.
30 : 2 What could I gain from the strength of their hands,men whosevigor is gone?
30 : 3 Through want and hard hungertheygnawthe dry ground by night inwaste and desolation;
30 : 4 they pick saltwort and the leaves of bushes,and the roots of the broom tree for their food.
30 : 5 They are driven out from human company;they shout after them as after a thief.
30 : 6 In the gullies of the torrents they must dwell,in holes of the earth and ofthe rocks.
30 : 7 Among the bushes theybray;underthe nettles they huddle together.
30 : 8 A senseless, a nameless brood,they have been whipped out of the land.
30 : 9 And now I have become theirsong;I ama byword to them.
30 : 10 Theyabhor me; they keep aloof from me;they do not hesitate tospit at the sight of me.
30 : 11 Because God has loosed my cord and humbled me,they have cast off restraintin my presence.
30 : 12 On myright hand the rabble rise;they push away my feet;theycast up against me their ways of destruction.
30 : 13 They break up my path;they promote mycalamity;they need no one to help them.
30 : 14 As through a widebreach they come;amid the crash they roll on.
30 : 15 Terrors are turned upon me;my honor is pursued as by the wind,and my prosperity has passed away likea cloud.
30 : 16 And now my soul ispoured out within me;days of affliction have taken hold of me.
30 : 17 The nightracks my bones,and the pain thatgnaws me takes no rest.
30 : 18 With great force my garment isdisfigured;it binds me about like the collar of my tunic.
30 : 19 Godhas cast me into the mire,and I have become likedust and ashes.
30 : 20 I cry to you for help and you do not answer me;I stand, and you only look at me.
30 : 21 You haveturned cruel to me;with the might of your hand youpersecute me.
30 : 22 You lift me up on the wind; you make me ride on it,and you toss me about in the roar of the storm.
30 : 23 For I know that you will bring me to deathand to the house appointed forall living.
30 : 24 Yet does not one in aheap of ruins stretch out his hand,and in his disaster cry for help?
30 : 25 Did not Iweep for him whose day was hard?Was not my soul grieved for the needy?
30 : 26 Butwhen I hoped for good, evil came,and when I waited for light,darkness came.
30 : 27 My inward parts are in turmoil and never still;days of afflictioncome to meet me.
30 : 28 Igo about darkened, but not by the sun;I stand up inthe assembly and cry for help.
30 : 29 I am a brother ofjackalsand a companion ofostriches.
30 : 30 Myskin turns black and falls from me,and mybones burn with heat.
30 : 31 Mylyre isturned to mourning,and mypipe to the voice of those who weep.
