Job's
Present State Is Humiliating |

hands to me? Vigor had perished from them. |

"From want and famine they are gaunt Who gnaw
the dry ground by night in waste and desolation, |
| |

Who pluck mallow by the bushes, And whose food
is the root of the broom shrub. |
| |
|
|
| Job 30:5 |
|
"They are driven from the community; They shout
against them as against a thief, |

So that they dwell in dreadful valleys, In holes
of the earth and of the rocks. |

they are gathered together. |

thrust aside my feet and build up against me their ways of destruction. |

"They break up my path, They profit from my
destruction; No one restrains them. |
|

|
"As through a wide breach they come, Amid the
tempest they roll on. |
|

my honor as the wind, And my prosperity has passed away like a cloud. |

of affliction have seized me. |

my gnawing pains take no rest. |

binds me about as the collar of my coat. |

like dust and ashes. |

of Your hand You persecute me. |

"You lift me up to the wind and cause me to
ride; And You dissolve me in a storm. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 30:23 |
|
"For I know that You will bring me to death
And to the house of meeting for all living. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 30:24 |
|
"Yet does not one in a heap of ruins stretch
out his hand, Or in his disaster therefore cry out for help? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 30:25 |
|
"Have I not wept for the one whose life is hard?
Was not my soul grieved for the needy? |
|
|
|

"When I expected good, then evil came; When
I waited for light, then darkness came. |

of affliction confront me. |

my flute to the sound of those who weep. |
