Job 30
1 and now to laugh upon me little from me to/for day: old which to reject father their to/for to set: make with dog flock my
But, now, they who are of fewer days than I, have poured derision upon me; whose fathers I refused—to set with the dogs of my flock.
2 also strength hand their to/for what? to/for me upon them to perish vigor
Even the strength of their hands, wherefore was it mine? Upon them, vigour was lost;
3 in/on/with poverty and in/on/with famine solitary [the] to gnaw dryness last night devastation and desolation
In want and hunger, they were lean, —who used to gnaw the dry ground, a dark night of desolation!
4 [the] to pluck mallow upon bush and root broom food their
Who used to pluck off the mallow by the bushes, with the root of the broom for their food;
5 from midst to drive out: drive out to shout upon them like/as thief
Out of the midst, were they driven, men shouted after them, as after a thief;
6 in/on/with dreadful torrent: river to/for to dwell hole dust and rock
In the fissures, of the ravines had they to dwell, in holes of dust and crags;
7 between bush to bray underneath: under nettle to attach
Among the bushes, used they to shriek, Under the bramble, were they huddled together:
8 son: type of foolish also son: child without name to whip from [the] land: country/planet
Sons of the base, yea sons of the nameless, they were scourged out of the land.
9 and now music their to be and to be to/for them to/for speech
But, now, their song, have I become, Yea I serve them for a byword;
10 to abhor me to remove from me and from face my not to withhold spittle
They abhor me—have put themselves far from me, and, from my face, have not withheld—spittle!
11 for (cord my *Q(K)*) to open and to afflict me and bridle from face my to send: depart
Because, my girdle, he had loosened and had humbled me, therefore, the bridle—in my presence, cast they off;
12 upon right brood to arise: rise foot my to send: depart and to build upon me way calamity their
On my right hand, the young brood rose up, —My feet, they thrust aside, and cast up against me their earthworks of destruction;
13 to break path my to/for desire my to gain not to help to/for them
They brake up my path, —My engulfing ruin, they helped forward, unaided;
14 like/as breach broad: wide to come underneath: stand devastation to roll
As through a wide breach, came they on, with a crashing noise, they rolled themselves along.
15 to overturn upon me terror to pursue like/as spirit: breath honor my and like/as cloud to pass salvation my
There are turned upon me terrors, —Chased away as with a wind, is mine abundance, and, as a cloud, hath passed away my prosperity.
16 and now upon me to pour: pour soul my to grasp me day affliction
Now, therefore, over myself, my soul poureth itself out, There seize me days of affliction:
17 night bone my to dig from upon me and to gnaw me not to lie down: sleep [emph?]
Night, boreth, my bones, all over me, —and, my sinews, find no rest;
18 in/on/with many strength to search clothing my like/as lip: edge tunic my to gird me
Most effectually, is my skin disfigured, —Like the collar of my tunic, it girdeth me about:
19 to shoot me to/for clay and to liken like/as dust and ashes
He hath cast me into the mire, and I have become like dust and ashes.
20 to cry to(wards) you and not to answer me to stand: stand and to understand in/on/with me
I cry out for help unto thee, and thou dost not answer, I stand still, and thou dost gaze at me;
21 to overturn to/for cruel to/for me in/on/with strength hand: power your to hate me
Thou art turned to become a cruel one unto me, With the might of thy hand, thou assailest me;
22 to lift: raise me to(wards) spirit: breath to ride me and to melt me (wisdom *Q(K)*)
Thou liftest up me to the wind, thou carriest me away, and the storm maketh me faint;
23 for to know death to return: return me and house: home meeting: time appointed to/for all alive
For I know that, unto death, thou wilt bring me back, even unto the house of meeting for every one living.
24 surely not in/on/with ruin to send: reach hand if: surely yes in/on/with disaster his to/for them cry
Only, against a heap of ruins, will one not thrust a hand! Surely, when one is in calamity—for that very reason, is there an outcry for help.
25 if: surely no not to weep to/for severe day be grieved soul my to/for needy
Verily I wept, for him whose lot was hard, Grieved was my soul, for the needy.
26 for good to await and to come (in): come bad: evil and to wait: hope to/for light and to come (in): come darkness
Surely, for good, I looked, but there came in evil, And I waited for light, but there came in darkness;
27 belly my to boil and not to silence: stationary to meet me day affliction
I boiled within me, and rested not, There confronted me—days of affliction;
28 be dark to go: walk in/on/with not heat to arise: establish in/on/with assembly to cry
In gloom, I walked along, without sun, I arose—in the convocation, I cried out for help;
29 brother: male-sibling to be to/for jackal and neighbor to/for daughter ostrich
A brother, became I to the brutes that howl, and a companion to the birds that screech:
30 skin my be black from upon me and bone my to scorch from drought
My skin, turned black, and peeled off me, and, my bones, burned with heat:
31 and to be to/for mourning lyre my and pipe my to/for voice to weep
Thus is attuned to mourning—my lyre, and my flute, to the noise of them who weep.
