Job 30

1 ♥ 📝 B ut now they that are younger^H6810 than I have me in derision,^H7832 Whose fathers^H1 I disdained^H3988 to set^H7896 with the dogs^H3611 of my flock.^H6629

2 ♥ 📝 Yea, the strength^H3581 of their hands,^H3027 whereto^H4100 should it profit me? Men in whom ripe age^H3624 is perished.^H6

3 ♥ 📝 They are gaunt^H1565 with want^H2639 and famine;^H3720 They gnaw^H6207 the dry ground,^H6723 in the gloom^H570 of wasteness^H4875 and desolation.^H7722

4 ♥ 📝 They pluck^H6998 salt-wort^H4408 by the bushes;^H7880 And the roots^H8328 of the broom^H7574 are their food.^H3899

5 ♥ 📝 They are driven forth^H1644 from the midst^H1460 [of men]; They cry^H7321 after them as after a thief;^H1590

6 ♥ 📝 So that they dwell^H7931 in frightful^H6178 valleys,^H5158 In holes^H2356 of the earth^H6083 and of the rocks.^H3710

7 ♥ 📝 Among the bushes^H7880 they bray;^H5101 Under the nettles^H2738 they are gathered together.^H5596

8 ♥ 📝 [ They are] children^H1121 of fools,^H5036 yea, children^H1121 of base men;^H8034 They were scourged^H5217 out of the land.^H776

9 ♥ 📝 And now I am become their song,^H5058 Yea, I am a byword^H4405 unto them.

10 ♥ 📝 They abhor^H8581 me, they stand aloof^H7368 from me, And spare^H2820 not to spit^H7536 in my face.^H6440

11 ♥ 📝 For he hath loosed^H6605 his cord,^H3499 and afflicted^H6031 me; And they have cast^H7971 off the bridle^H7448 before^H6440 me.

12 ♥ 📝 Upon my right^H3225 hand rise^H6965 the rabble;^H6526 They thrust aside^H7971 my feet,^H7272 And they cast up^H5549 against me their ways^H734 of destruction.^H343

13 ♥ 📝 They mar^H5420 my path,^H5410 They set forward^H3276 my calamity,^H1942 [Even] men that have no helper.^H5826

14 ♥ 📝 As through a wide^H7342 breach^H6556 they come:^H857 In the midst^H8478 of the ruin^H7722 they roll^H1556 themselves [upon me].

15 ♥ 📝 Terrors^H1091 are turned^H2015 upon me; They chase^H7291 mine honor^H5082 as the wind;^H7307 And my welfare^H3444 is passed away^H5674 as a cloud.^H5645

16 ♥ 📝 And now my soul^H5315 is poured out^H8210 within me; Days^H3117 of affliction^H6040 have taken hold^H270 upon me.

17 ♥ 📝 In the night season^H3915 my bones^H6106 are pierced^H5365 in me, And the [pains] that gnaw^H6207 me take no rest.^H7901

18 ♥ 📝 By [God's] great^H7230 force^H3581 is my garment^H3830 disfigured;^H2664 It bindeth me about^H247 as the collar^H6310 of my coat.^H3801

19 ♥ 📝 He hath cast^H3384 me into the mire,^H2563 And I am become like^H4911 dust^H6083 and ashes.^H665

20 ♥ 📝 I cry^H7768 unto thee, and thou dost not answer^H6030 me: I stand up,^H5975 and thou gazest^H995 at me.

21 ♥ 📝 Thou art turned^H2015 to be cruel^H393 to me; With the might^H6108 of thy hand^H3027 thou persecutest^H7852 me.

22 ♥ 📝 Thou liftest me up^H5375 to the wind,^H7307 thou causest me to ride^H7392 [upon it]; And thou dissolvest^H4127 me^H8454 in the storm.

23 ♥ 📝 For I know^H3045 that thou wilt bring^H7725 me to death,^H4194 And to the house^H1004 appointed^H4150 for all living.^H2416

24 ♥ 📝 Howbeit doth not one stretch out^H7971 the hand^H3027 in his fall?^H1164 Or in his calamity^H6365 therefore cry^H7769 for help?

25 ♥ 📝 Did not I weep^H1058 for him that was in trouble?^H7186 Was not my soul^H5315 grieved^H5701 for the needy?^H34

26 ♥ 📝 When I looked^H6960 for good,^H2896 then evil^H7451 came;^H935 And when I waited^H3176 for light,^H216 there came^H935 darkness.^H652

27 ♥ 📝 My heart^H4578 is troubled,^H7570 and resteth^H1826 not; Days^H3117 of affliction^H6040 are come upon^H6923 me.

28 ♥ 📝 I go^H1980 mourning^H6937 without the sun:^H2535 I stand up^H6965 in the assembly,^H6951 and cry^H7768 for help.

29 ♥ 📝 I am a brother^H251 to jackals,^H8577 And a companion^H7453 to ostriches.^H1323

30 ♥ 📝 My skin^H5785 is black,^H7835 [and falleth] from me, And my bones^H6106 are burned^H2787 with heat.^H2721

31 ♥ 📝 Therefore is my harp^H3658 [turned] to mourning,^H60 And my pipe^H5748 into the voice^H6963 of them that weep.^H1058
