Job_30_02 Yea, whereto [might] the strength of their hands [profit] me, in whom old age was perished? ~

Job_30_03 For want and famine [they were] solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste. ~

Job_30_04 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots [for] their meat. ~

Job_30_05 They were driven forth from among [men], [they cried after them as [after] a thief;] ~

Job_30_06 To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, [in] caves of the earth, and [in] the rocks. ~

Job_30_07 Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together. ~

Job_30_08 [They were] children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth. ~

Job_30_09 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_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_31 My harp also is [turned] to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep. ~
