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.



JOB-30:2 Yea, whereto [might] the strength of their hands 
[profit] me, in whom old age was perished?



JOB-30:3 For want and famine [they were] solitary; fleeing into 
the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.



JOB-30:4 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots 
[for] their meat.



JOB-30:5 They were driven forth from among [men], (they cried 
after them as [after] a thief;)



JOB-30:6 To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, [in] caves of 
the earth, and [in] the rocks.



JOB-30:7 Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they 
were gathered together.



JOB-30:8 [They were] children of fools, yea, children of base 
men: they were viler than the earth.



JOB-30:9 And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.



JOB-30:10 They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to 
spit in my face.



JOB-30:11 Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they 
have also let loose the bridle before me.



JOB-30:12 Upon [my] right [hand] rise the youth; they push away 
my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their 
destruction.



JOB-30:13 They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they 
have no helper.



JOB-30:14 They came [upon me] as a wide breaking in [of waters]: 
in the desolation they rolled themselves [upon me].



JOB-30:15 Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the 
wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.



JOB-30:16 And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of 
affliction have taken hold upon me.



JOB-30:17 My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my 
sinews take no rest.



JOB-30:18 By the great force [of my disease] is my garment 
changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.



JOB-30:19 He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like 
dust and ashes.



JOB-30:20 I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up,
 and thou regardest me [not].



JOB-30:21 Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou 
opposest thyself against me.



JOB-30:22 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to 
ride [upon it], and dissolvest my substance.



JOB-30:23 For I know [that] thou wilt bring me [to] death, and 
[to] the house appointed for all living.



JOB-30:24 Howbeit he will not stretch out [his] hand to the 
grave, though they cry in his destruction.



JOB-30:25 Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was [not] 
my soul grieved for the poor?



JOB-30:26 When I looked for good, then evil came [unto me]: and 
when I waited for light, there came darkness.



JOB-30:27 My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of 
affliction prevented me.



JOB-30:28 I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, [and] I 
cried in the congregation.



JOB-30:29 I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.



JOB-30:30 My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with 
heat.



JOB-30:31 My harp also is [turned] to mourning, and my organ 
into the voice of them that weep. 1
