< Job 30 >

1 But now the younger in time scorn me, whose fathers I would not have set with the dogs of my flock:
And now - they have laughed on me [people] young more than me to days whom I rejected fathers their to put with [the] dogs of flock my.
2 The strength of whose hands was to me as nothing, and they were thought unworthy of life itself.
Also [the] strength of hands their why? to me on them it had perished vigor.
3 Barren with want and hunger, who gnawed in the wilderness, disfigured with calamity and misery.
In poverty and in hunger barren the [ones who] gnaw a dry region yesterday of ruin and desolation.
4 And they ate grass, and barks of trees, and the root of junipers was their food.
Those [who] pluck off mallow on bush[es] and [the] root of broom plants [for] food their.
5 Who snatched up these things out of the valleys, and when they had found any of them, they ran to them with a cry.
From [the] community they are driven away people shout on them like thief.
6 They dwelt in the desert places of torrents, and in caves of earth, or upon the gravel.
On [the] slope of wadis to dwell holes of [the] ground and rocks.
7 They pleased themselves among these kind of things, and counted it delightful to be under the briers.
Between bushes they bray under nettle[s] they are joined together.
8 The children of foolish and base men, and not appearing at all upon the earth.
Sons of a fool also sons of not a name they have been scourged from the land.
9 Now I am turned into their song, and am become their byword.
And now taunt song their I have become and I have become for them a word.
10 They abhor me, and flee far from me, and are not afraid to spit in my face.
They abhor me they are distant from me and from face my not they have withheld spittle.
11 For he hath opened his quiver, and hath afflicted me, and hath put a bridle into my mouth.
For (string my *Q(K)*) he has loosened and he has afflicted me and [the] halter from before me they have sent away.
12 At the right hand of my rising, my calamities forthwith arose: they have overthrown my feet, and have overwhelmed me with their paths as with waves.
On [the] right [side] a brood they arise feet my they have sent away and they have piled up on me [the] paths of disaster their.
13 They have destroyed my ways, they have lain in wait against me, and they have prevailed, and there was none to help.
They have torn down pathway my to destruction my they benefit not a helper [belongs] to them.
14 They have rushed in upon me, as when a wall is broken, and a gate opened, and have rolled themselves down to my miseries.
Like a breach wide they come under devastation they have rolled themselves.
15 I am brought to nothing: as a wind thou hast taken away my desire: and my prosperity hath passed away like a cloud.
It has been turned on me sudden terror it pursues like the wind dignity my and like a cloud it has passed away prosperity my.
16 And now my soul fadeth within myself, and the days of affliction possess me.
And now on me it pours itself out life my they seize me days of affliction.
17 In the night my bone is pierced with sorrows: and they that feed upon me, do not sleep.
Night bones my he has pierced from on me and gnawing [pains] my not they rest!
18 With the multitude of them my garment is consumed, and they have girded me about, as with the collar of my coat.
With greatness of strength it disguises itself clothing my like [the] mouth of tunic my he girds about me.
19 I am compared to dirt, and am likened to embers and ashes.
He has thrown me to the mud and I have become like like dust and ash[es].
20 I cry to thee, and thou hearest me not: I stand up, and thou dost not regard me.
I cry for help to you and not you answer me I have stood and you have considered carefully me.
21 Thou art changed to be cruel toward me, and in the hardness of thy hand thou art against me.
You change yourself into [one] cruel to me with [the] might of hand your you are hostile to me.
22 Thou hast lifted me up, and set me as it were upon the wind, and thou hast mightily dashed me.
You lift up me to [the] wind you make ride me and you dissolve me (success. *Q(K)*)
23 I know that thou wilt deliver me to death, where a house is appointed for every one that liveth.
For I know death you will bring me and a house of appointed meeting for every living [thing].
24 But yet thou stretchest not forth thy hand to their consumption: and if they shall fall down thou wilt save.
Surely not on a heap of ruins anyone stretches out a hand or in disaster his to them a cry for help.
25 I wept heretofore for him that was afflicted, and my soul had compassion on the poor.
Not did I weep for [the] hard of day was it grieved? self my for the needy [person].
26 I expected good things, and evils are come upon me: I waited for light, and darkness broke out.
If good I waited for and it came evil and I waited for light and it came darkness.
27 My inner parts have boiled without any rest, the days of affliction have prevented me.
Inward parts my they have been made to boil and not they have been still they have confronted me days of affliction.
28 I went mourning without indignation; I rose up, and cried in the crowd.
Being dark I have gone about with not sun I have stood in the assembly I cry out for help.
29 I was the brother of dragons, and companion of ostriches.
A brother I have become of jackals and a companion of daughters of an ostrich.
30 My skin is become black upon me, and my bones are dried up with heat.
Skin my it has become black from on me and bone my it has burned from heat.
31 My harp is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of those that weep.
And it has become mourning harp my and flute my [the] sound of weepers.
