updv - 30

updv@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.

updv@Job:30:2 @ Yes, the strength of their hands, whereto should it profit me? Men in whom ripe age has perished.

updv@Job:30:3 @ They are gaunt with want and famine; They gnaw the desert, in the gloom of wasteness and desolation.

updv@Job:30:4 @ They pluck salt-wort by the bushes; And the roots of the broom are their food.

updv@Job:30:5 @ They are driven forth from the midst [of men]; They cry after them as after a thief;

updv@Job:30:6 @ So that they stay in frightful valleys, In holes of the earth and of the rocks.

updv@Job:30:7 @ Among the bushes they bray; Under the nettles they are gathered together.

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

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

updv@Job:30:10 @ They are disgusted by me, they stand aloof from me, And do not spare to spit in my face.

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

updv@Job:30:12 @ On my right hand rise the rabble; They thrust aside my feet, And they cast up against me their ways of destruction.

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

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

updv@Job:30:15 @ Terrors are turned on me; They chase my honor as the wind; And my welfare has passed away as a cloud.

updv@Job:30:16 @ And now my soul is poured out inside me; Days of affliction have taken hold on me.

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

updv@Job:30:18 @ By [God's] great force is my garment disfigured; It binds me about as the collar of my coat.

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

updv@Job:30:20 @ I cry to you, and you do not answer me: I stand up, and you gaze at me.

updv@Job:30:21 @ You have turned to be cruel to me; With the might of your hand you persecute me.

updv@Job:30:22 @ You lift me up to the wind, you cause me to ride [on it]; And you dissolve me in the storm.

updv@Job:30:23 @ For I know that you will bring me to death, And to the house appointed for all living.

updv@Job:30:24 @ Nevertheless, does not one stretch out his hand when he falls? And, when he is ruined, cry for help because of it?

updv@Job:30:25 @ Didn't I weep for him who was in trouble? Wasn't my soul grieved for the needy?

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

updv@Job:30:27 @ My insides are troubled, and do not rest; Days of affliction have come upon me.

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

updv@Job:30:29 @ I am a brother to jackals, And a companion to ostriches.

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

updv@Job:30:31 @ Therefore my harp is [turned] to mourning, And my pipe into the voice of those who weep.
