lesserot@Job:30:1 @ But now they who are younger than I in years laugh at me, whose fathers I scorned to put as equals with the dogs of my flocks.

lesserot@Job:30:2 @ Yea, what possible use can the strength of their hands be unto me, over whom old age hath passed fruitlessly?

lesserot@Job:30:3 @ Who suffer for want and famine in solitude; who flee into the wilderness darkness, ruin, and desolation;

lesserot@Job:30:4 @ Who crop off mallows by the bushes, and have broombush roots as their bread;

lesserot@Job:30:5 @ Who are driven forth from among, who are shouted after as though they were thieves,

lesserot@Job:30:6 @ To dwell in the caverns of the valleys, in holes of the earth, and on naked cliffs.

lesserot@Job:30:7 @ Among the bushes they shriek; under briers they are huddled together,

lesserot@Job:30:8 @ The children of the worthless, yea, the children of the nameless, who were outcasts from the land.

lesserot@Job:30:9 @ But now I am become their song, and I am become a byword unto them.

lesserot@Job:30:10 @ They loathe me, they keep themselves far from me, and from my face they withhold not their spittle.

lesserot@Job:30:11 @ Because he hath loosened the cord of my bow, and afflicted me, they have also cast off the bridle before me.

lesserot@Job:30:12 @ Against my right hand rise up this swarm of worthless youths: they push away my feet, and they level against me their calamitybringing paths.

lesserot@Job:30:13 @ They destroy my footpath, they help forward my downfall, without any one to aid them.

lesserot@Job:30:14 @ As a broad breach they come: amidst a loud noise they rolled themselves along.

lesserot@Job:30:15 @ Terrors have turned their face against me; they chase like the wind my glory: and like a cloud is my happiness passed away.

lesserot@Job:30:16 @ And now my soul is poured out over me; the days of affliction have seized on me;

lesserot@Job:30:17 @ All night it holloweth out my bones out of my body; and my pursuers take no rest.

lesserot@Job:30:18 @ Through the Almlghtys power is my garment made unknown: like the opening of my coat hath he enclosed me.

lesserot@Job:30:19 @ He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.

lesserot@Job:30:20 @ I cry aloud unto thee, but thou answerest me not: I stand up, and thou fixest thy regard against me.

lesserot@Job:30:21 @ Thou art changed into a cruel master toward me: with the strength of thy hand thou assailest me.

lesserot@Job:30:22 @ Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to pass away, and dissolvest in me all wise counsel.

lesserot@Job:30:23 @ For I know that thou wilt bring me back to death, and to the house of assembly for all the living.

lesserot@Job:30:24 @ But doth not a man stretch out his hand among ruins? or doth one not cry out therefrom when he meeteth his downfall?

lesserot@Job:30:25 @ Did I not weep for him that was hard pressed by misfortune? was not my soul grieved for the needy?

lesserot@Job:30:26 @ That I hoped for good, but there came evil; and I waited for light, and there came darkness!

lesserot@Job:30:27 @ My bowels heave, and rest not: the days of affliction have overcome me.

lesserot@Job:30:28 @ I walk about mournfully without sunlight: when I rise up, in the assembly, I cry with pain.

lesserot@Job:30:29 @ I am a brother to monsters, and a companion to ostriches.

lesserot@Job:30:30 @ My skin hangeth down black from me, and my bones are burnt from heat.

lesserot@Job:30:31 @ And thus is changed to mourning my harp, and my pipe to the sound of weeping.
