acv@Job:30:1 @ But now those who are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.

acv@Job:30:2 @ Yea, the strength of their hands, to what should it profit me? Men in whom ripe age is perished.

acv@Job:30:3 @ They are gaunt with want and famine. They gnaw the dry ground in the gloom of waste and desolation.

acv@Job:30:4 @ They pluck mallows by the bushes, and the roots of the juniper are their food.

acv@Job:30:5 @ They are driven forth from the midst [of men]. They cry out after them as after a thief,

acv@Job:30:6 @ so that they dwell in frightful valleys, in holes of the earth and of the rocks.

acv@Job:30:7 @ Among the bushes they bray, under the nettles they are gathered together.

acv@Job:30:8 @ [They are] sons of fools, yea, sons of base men. They were scourged out of the land.

acv@Job:30:9 @ And now I have become their song, Yea, I am a byword to them.

acv@Job:30:10 @ They abhor me. They stand aloof from me, and do not spare to spit in my face.

acv@Job:30:11 @ For he has loosed his cord, and afflicted me. And they have cast off the bridle before me.

acv@Job:30:12 @ Upon my right hand rise the rabble. They thrust aside my feet, and they cast up against me their ways of destruction.

acv@Job:30:13 @ They mar my path. They set forward my calamity, [even] men who have no helper.

acv@Job:30:14 @ As through a wide breach they come. In the midst of the ruin they roll themselves [upon me].

acv@Job:30:15 @ Terrors are turned upon me. They chase my honor as the wind, and my welfare is passed away as a cloud.

acv@Job:30:16 @ And now my soul is poured out within me. Days of affliction have taken hold upon me.

acv@Job:30:17 @ In the night season my bones are pierced in me, and the [pains] that gnaw me take no rest.

acv@Job:30:18 @ By the great force my garment is disfigured. It binds me about as the collar of my coat.

acv@Job:30:19 @ He has cast me into the mire, and I have become like dust and ashes.

acv@Job:30:20 @ I cry to thee, and thou do not answer me. I stand up, and thou gaze at me.

acv@Job:30:21 @ Thou have turned to be cruel to me. With the might of thy hand thou persecute me.

acv@Job:30:22 @ Thou lift me up to the wind. Thou cause me to ride [upon it], and thou disintegrate me in the storm.

acv@Job:30:23 @ For I know that thou will bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.

acv@Job:30:24 @ However does not a man stretch out the hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?

acv@Job:30:25 @ Did I not weep for him who was in trouble? Was not my soul grieved for the needy?

acv@Job:30:26 @ When I looked for good, then evil came. And when I waited for light, there came darkness.

acv@Job:30:27 @ My heart is troubled, and does not rest. Days of affliction have come upon me.

acv@Job:30:28 @ I go mourning without the sun. I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.

acv@Job:30:29 @ I am a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches.

acv@Job:30:30 @ My skin is black, [and falls] from me. And my bones are burned with heat.

acv@Job:30:31 @ Therefore my harp has [turned] to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of those who weep.
