akjv@Job:30:1 @ But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
akjv@Job:30:2 @ Yes, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
akjv@Job:30:3 @ For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
akjv@Job:30:4 @ Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.
akjv@Job:30:5 @ They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)
akjv@Job:30:6 @ To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
akjv@Job:30:7 @ Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
akjv@Job:30:8 @ They were children of fools, yes, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
akjv@Job:30:9 @ And now am I their song, yes, I am their byword.
akjv@Job:30:10 @ They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
akjv@Job:30:11 @ Because he has loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.
akjv@Job:30:12 @ On my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.
akjv@Job:30:13 @ They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.
akjv@Job:30:14 @ They came on me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves on me.
akjv@Job:30:15 @ Terrors are turned on me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passes away as a cloud.
akjv@Job:30:16 @ And now my soul is poured out on me; the days of affliction have taken hold on me.
akjv@Job:30:17 @ My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.
akjv@Job:30:18 @ By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it binds me about as the collar of my coat.
akjv@Job:30:19 @ He has cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.
akjv@Job:30:20 @ I cry to you, and you do not hear me: I stand up, and you regard me not.
akjv@Job:30:21 @ You are become cruel to me: with your strong hand you oppose yourself against me.
akjv@Job:30:22 @ You lift me up to the wind; you cause me to ride on it, and dissolve my substance.
akjv@Job:30:23 @ For I know that you will bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
akjv@Job:30:24 @ However, he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.
akjv@Job:30:25 @ Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?
akjv@Job:30:26 @ When I looked for good, then evil came to me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
akjv@Job:30:27 @ My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.
akjv@Job:30:28 @ I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.
akjv@Job:30:29 @ I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
akjv@Job:30:30 @ My skin is black on me, and my bones are burned with heat.
akjv@Job:30:31 @ My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
