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