* But now they that are younger #H3117than I have me in derision , whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock tso #n #. * Yea , whereto might the strength of their hands profit me , in whom old age was perished ? * For want and famine they were solitary ; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste m @show #ah #. * Who cut up mallows by the bushes , and juniper roots for their meat . * They were driven forth from among men , (they cried after them as after a thief ; ) * To dwell in the clifts of the valleys , in caves of the earth , and in the rocks . * Among the bushes they brayed ; under the nettles they were gathered together . * They were children of fools , yea , children of base men : they were viler than the earth . * And now am I their song , yea , I am their byword . * They abhor me , they flee far from me , and spare not to spit in my face . * Because he hath loosed my cord , and afflicted me , they have also let loose the bridle before me . * Upon my right hand rise the youth ; they push away my feet , and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction . * They mar my path , they set forward my calamity , they have no helper . * They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters : in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me . * Terrors are turned upon me : they pursue my soul as the wind : and my welfare passeth away as a cloud . * And now my soul is poured out upon me ; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me . * My bones are pierced in me in the night season : and my sinews take no rest . * By the great force of my disease is my garment changed : it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat . * He hath cast me into the mire , and I am become like dust and ashes . * I cry unto thee , and thou dost not hear me : I stand up , and thou regardest me not . * Thou art become cruel to me : with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me . * Thou liftest me up to the wind ; thou causest me to ride upon it , and dissolvest my substance . * For I know that thou wilt bring me to death , and to the house appointed for all living . * Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave b @#iy #, though they cry in his destruction . * Did not I weep for him that was in trouble qasheh #? was not my soul grieved for the poor ? * When I looked for good , then evil came unto me : and when I waited for light , there came darkness . * My bowels boiled , and rested not : the days of affliction prevented me . * I went mourning without the sun : I stood up , and I cried in the congregation . * I am a brother to dragons , and a companion to owls bath # ya #anah #. * My skin is black upon me , and my bones are burned with heat . * My harp also is turned to mourning , and my organ into the voice of them that weep .
