< Job 30 >

1 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.
And now, laughed at me, Have the younger in days than I, Whose fathers I have loathed to set With the dogs of my flock.
2 Also [the] strength of hands their why? to me on them it had perished vigor.
Also — the power of their hands, why [is it] to me? On them hath old age perished.
3 In poverty and in hunger barren the [ones who] gnaw a dry region yesterday of ruin and desolation.
With want and with famine gloomy, Those fleeing to a dry place, Formerly a desolation and waste,
4 Those [who] pluck off mallow on bush[es] and [the] root of broom plants [for] food their.
Those cropping mallows near a shrub, And broom-roots [is] their food.
5 From [the] community they are driven away people shout on them like thief.
From the midst they are cast out, (They shout against them as a thief),
6 On [the] slope of wadis to dwell holes of [the] ground and rocks.
In a frightful place of valleys to dwell, Holes of earth and clefts.
7 Between bushes they bray under nettle[s] they are joined together.
Among shrubs they do groan, Under nettles they are gathered together.
8 Sons of a fool also sons of not a name they have been scourged from the land.
Sons of folly — even sons without name, They have been smitten from the land.
9 And now taunt song their I have become and I have become for them a word.
And now, their song I have been, And I am to them for a byword.
10 They abhor me they are distant from me and from face my not they have withheld spittle.
They have abominated me, They have kept far from me, And from before me have not spared to spit.
11 For (string my *Q(K)*) he has loosened and he has afflicted me and [the] halter from before me they have sent away.
Because His cord He loosed and afflicteth me, And the bridle from before me, They have cast away.
12 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.
On the right hand doth a brood arise, My feet they have cast away, And they raise up against me, Their paths of calamity.
13 They have torn down pathway my to destruction my they benefit not a helper [belongs] to them.
They have broken down my path, By my calamity they profit, 'He hath no helper.'
14 Like a breach wide they come under devastation they have rolled themselves.
As a wide breach they come, Under the desolation have rolled themselves.
15 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.
He hath turned against me terrors, It pursueth as the wind mine abundance, And as a thick cloud, Hath my safety passed away.
16 And now on me it pours itself out life my they seize me days of affliction.
And now, in me my soul poureth itself out, Seize me do days of affliction.
17 Night bones my he has pierced from on me and gnawing [pains] my not they rest!
At night my bone hath been pierced in me, And mine eyelids do not lie down.
18 With greatness of strength it disguises itself clothing my like [the] mouth of tunic my he girds about me.
By the abundance of power, Is my clothing changed, As the mouth of my coat it doth gird me.
19 He has thrown me to the mud and I have become like like dust and ash[es].
Casting me into mire, And I am become like dust and ashes.
20 I cry for help to you and not you answer me I have stood and you have considered carefully me.
I cry unto Thee, And Thou dost not answer me, I have stood, and Thou dost consider me.
21 You change yourself into [one] cruel to me with [the] might of hand your you are hostile to me.
Thou art turned to be fierce to me, With the strength of Thy hand, Thou oppressest me.
22 You lift up me to [the] wind you make ride me and you dissolve me (success. *Q(K)*)
Thou dost lift me up, On the wind Thou dost cause me to ride, And Thou meltest — Thou levellest me.
23 For I know death you will bring me and a house of appointed meeting for every living [thing].
For I have known To death Thou dost bring me back, And [to] the house appointed for all living.
24 Surely not on a heap of ruins anyone stretches out a hand or in disaster his to them a cry for help.
Surely not against the heap Doth He send forth the hand, Though in its ruin they have safety.
25 Not did I weep for [the] hard of day was it grieved? self my for the needy [person].
Did not I weep for him whose day is hard? Grieved hath my soul for the needy.
26 If good I waited for and it came evil and I waited for light and it came darkness.
When good I expected, then cometh evil, And I wait for light, and darkness cometh.
27 Inward parts my they have been made to boil and not they have been still they have confronted me days of affliction.
My bowels have boiled, and have not ceased, Gone before me have days of affliction.
28 Being dark I have gone about with not sun I have stood in the assembly I cry out for help.
Mourning I have gone without the sun, I have risen, in an assembly I cry.
29 A brother I have become of jackals and a companion of daughters of an ostrich.
A brother I have been to dragons, And a companion to daughters of the ostrich.
30 Skin my it has become black from on me and bone my it has burned from heat.
My skin hath been black upon me, And my bone hath burned from heat,
31 And it has become mourning harp my and flute my [the] sound of weepers.
And my harp doth become mourning, And my organ the sound of weeping.
