rsv Job:30:1-12
rsv@Job:30:1 @ "But now they make sport of me, men who are younger than I, whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.
rsv@Job:30:2 @ What could I gain from the strength of their hands, men whose vigor is gone?
rsv@Job:30:3 @ Through want and hard hunger they gnaw the dry and desolate ground;
rsv@Job:30:4 @ they pick mallow and the leaves of bushes, and to warm themselves the roots of the broom.
rsv@Job:30:5 @ They are driven out from among men; they shout after them as after a thief.
rsv@Job:30:6 @ In the gullies of the torrents they must dwell, in holes of the earth and of the rocks.
rsv@Job:30:7 @ Among the bushes they bray; under the nettles they huddle together.
rsv@Job:30:8 @ A senseless, a disreputable brood, they have been whipped out of the land.
rsv@Job:30:9 @ "And now I have become their song, I am a byword to them.
rsv@Job:30:10 @ They abhor me, they keep aloof from me; they do not hesitate to spit at the sight of me.
rsv@Job:30:11 @ Because God has loosed my cord and humbled me, they have cast off restraint in my presence.
rsv@Job:30:12 @ On my right hand the rabble rise, they drive me forth, they cast up against me their ways of destruction.
