< 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.
וְעַתָּה ׀ שָׂחֲקוּ עָלַי צְעִירִים מִמֶּנִּי לְיָמִים אֲשֶׁר־מָאַסְתִּי אֲבוֹתָם לָשִׁית עִם־כַּלְבֵי צֹאנִֽי׃
2 Also [the] strength of hands their why? to me on them it had perished vigor.
גַּם־כֹּחַ יְדֵיהֶם לָמָּה לִּי עָלֵימוֹ אָבַד כָּֽלַח׃
3 In poverty and in hunger barren the [ones who] gnaw a dry region yesterday of ruin and desolation.
בְּחֶסֶר וּבְכָפָן גַּלְמוּד הַעֹרְקִים צִיָּה אֶמֶשׁ שׁוֹאָה וּמְשֹׁאָֽה׃
4 Those [who] pluck off mallow on bush[es] and [the] root of broom plants [for] food their.
הַקֹּטְפִים מַלּוּחַ עֲלֵי־שִׂיחַ וְשֹׁרֶשׁ רְתָמִים לַחְמָֽם׃
5 From [the] community they are driven away people shout on them like thief.
מִן־גֵּו יְגֹרָשׁוּ יָרִיעוּ עָלֵימוֹ כַּגַּנָּֽב׃
6 On [the] slope of wadis to dwell holes of [the] ground and rocks.
בַּעֲרוּץ נְחָלִים לִשְׁכֹּן חֹרֵי עָפָר וְכֵפִֽים׃
7 Between bushes they bray under nettle[s] they are joined together.
בֵּין־שִׂיחִים יִנְהָקוּ תַּחַת חָרוּל יְסֻפָּֽחוּ׃
8 Sons of a fool also sons of not a name they have been scourged from the land.
בְּֽנֵי־נָבָל גַּם־בְּנֵי בְלִי־שֵׁם נִכְּאוּ מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
9 And now taunt song their I have become and I have become for them a word.
וְעַתָּה נְגִינָתָם הָיִיתִי וָאֱהִי לָהֶם לְמִלָּֽה׃
10 They abhor me they are distant from me and from face my not they have withheld spittle.
תִּעֲבוּנִי רָחֲקוּ מֶנִּי וּמִפָּנַי לֹא־חָשְׂכוּ רֹֽק׃
11 For (string my *Q(K)*) he has loosened and he has afflicted me and [the] halter from before me they have sent away.
כִּֽי־[יִתְרִי] (יתרו) פִתַּח וַיְעַנֵּנִי וְרֶסֶן מִפָּנַי שִׁלֵּֽחוּ׃
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.
עַל־יָמִין פִּרְחַח יָקוּמוּ רַגְלַי שִׁלֵּחוּ וַיָּסֹלּוּ עָלַי אׇרְחוֹת אֵידָֽם׃
13 They have torn down pathway my to destruction my they benefit not a helper [belongs] to them.
נָֽתְסוּ נְֽתִיבָתִי לְהַוָּתִי יֹעִילוּ לֹא עֹזֵר לָֽמוֹ׃
14 Like a breach wide they come under devastation they have rolled themselves.
כְּפֶרֶץ רָחָב יֶאֱתָיוּ תַּחַת שֹׁאָה הִתְגַּלְגָּֽלוּ׃
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.
הׇהְפַּךְ עָלַי בַּלָּהוֹת תִּרְדֹּף כָּרוּחַ נְדִבָתִי וּכְעָב עָבְרָה יְשֻׁעָתִֽי׃
16 And now on me it pours itself out life my they seize me days of affliction.
וְעַתָּה עָלַי תִּשְׁתַּפֵּךְ נַפְשִׁי יֹאחֲזוּנִי יְמֵי־עֹֽנִי׃
17 Night bones my he has pierced from on me and gnawing [pains] my not they rest!
לַיְלָה עֲצָמַי נִקַּר מֵעָלָי וְעֹרְקַי לֹא יִשְׁכָּבֽוּן׃
18 With greatness of strength it disguises itself clothing my like [the] mouth of tunic my he girds about me.
בְּרׇב־כֹּחַ יִתְחַפֵּשׂ לְבוּשִׁי כְּפִי כֻתׇּנְתִּי יַאַזְרֵֽנִי׃
19 He has thrown me to the mud and I have become like like dust and ash[es].
הֹרָנִי לַחֹמֶר וָאֶתְמַשֵּׁל כֶּעָפָר וָאֵֽפֶר׃
20 I cry for help to you and not you answer me I have stood and you have considered carefully me.
אֲשַׁוַּע אֵלֶיךָ וְלֹא תַֽעֲנֵנִי עָמַדְתִּי וַתִּתְבֹּנֶן בִּֽי׃
21 You change yourself into [one] cruel to me with [the] might of hand your you are hostile to me.
תֵּהָפֵךְ לְאַכְזָר לִי בְּעֹצֶם יָדְךָ תִשְׂטְמֵֽנִי׃
22 You lift up me to [the] wind you make ride me and you dissolve me (success. *Q(K)*)
תִּשָּׂאֵנִי אֶל־רוּחַ תַּרְכִּיבֵנִי וּתְמֹגְגֵנִי (תשוה) [תּוּשִׁיָּֽה]׃
23 For I know death you will bring me and a house of appointed meeting for every living [thing].
כִּֽי־יָדַעְתִּי מָוֶת תְּשִׁיבֵנִי וּבֵית מוֹעֵד לְכׇל־חָֽי׃
24 Surely not on a heap of ruins anyone stretches out a hand or in disaster his to them a cry for help.
אַךְ לֹֽא־בְעִי יִשְׁלַח־יָד אִם־בְּפִידוֹ לָהֶן שֽׁוּעַ׃
25 Not did I weep for [the] hard of day was it grieved? self my for the needy [person].
אִם־לֹא בָכִיתִי לִקְשֵׁה־יוֹם עָֽגְמָה נַפְשִׁי לָאֶבְיֽוֹן׃
26 If good I waited for and it came evil and I waited for light and it came darkness.
כִּי טוֹב קִוִּיתִי וַיָּבֹא רָע וַאֲיַחֲלָה לְאוֹר וַיָּבֹא אֹֽפֶל׃
27 Inward parts my they have been made to boil and not they have been still they have confronted me days of affliction.
מֵעַי רֻתְּחוּ וְלֹא־דָמּוּ קִדְּמֻנִי יְמֵי־עֹֽנִי׃
28 Being dark I have gone about with not sun I have stood in the assembly I cry out for help.
קֹדֵר הִלַּכְתִּי בְּלֹא חַמָּה קַמְתִּי בַקָּהָל אֲשַׁוֵּֽעַ׃
29 A brother I have become of jackals and a companion of daughters of an ostrich.
אָח הָיִיתִי לְתַנִּים וְרֵעַ לִבְנוֹת יַעֲנָֽה׃
30 Skin my it has become black from on me and bone my it has burned from heat.
עוֹרִי שָׁחַר מֵעָלָי וְעַצְמִי־חָרָה מִנִּי־חֹֽרֶב׃
31 And it has become mourning harp my and flute my [the] sound of weepers.
וַיְהִי לְאֵבֶל כִּנֹּרִי וְעֻגָבִי לְקוֹל בֹּכִֽים׃
