Job 30
|
|
| 30:1
But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I
would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock. |
|
| 30:2
Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age
was perished? |
|
| 30:3
For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in
former time desolate and waste. |
|
| 30:4
Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat. |
|
| 30:5
They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a
thief;) |
|
| 30:6
To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the
rocks. |
|
| 30:7
Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered
together. |
|
| 30:8
They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler
than the earth. |
|
| 30:9
And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword. |
|
| 30:10
They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face. |
|
| 30:11
Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose
the bridle before me. |
|
| 30:12
Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise
up against me the ways of their destruction. |
|
| 30:13
They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper. |
|
| 30:14
They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they
rolled themselves upon me. |
|
| 30:15
Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my
welfare passeth away as a cloud. |
|
| 30:16
And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken
hold upon me. |
|
| 30:17
My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no
rest. |
|
| 30:18
By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me
about as the collar of my coat. |
|
| 30:19
He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes. |
|
| 30:20
I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest
me not. |
|
| 30:21
Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself
against me. |
|
| 30:22
Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and
dissolvest my substance. |
|
| 30:23
For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed
for all living. |
|
| 30:24
Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in
his destruction. |
|
| 30:25
Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for
the poor? |
|
| 30:26
When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for
light, there came darkness. |
|
| 30:27
My bowels boiled,
and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me. |
 (30:27) "My bowels boiled."
|
| 30:28
I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the
congregation. |
|
| 30:29
I am a brother to
dragons, and a companion to owls. |
(30:28) "I am a brother to dragons."
|
| 30:30
My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat. |
|
| 30:31
My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them
that weep.
