18_JOB_30_01 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.
18_JOB_30_02 yea, whereto [ might] the strength of their hands [ profit] me, in whom old age was perished?
18_JOB_30_03 for want And famine [ they were] solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate And waste.
18_JOB_30_04 who cut up mallows by the bushes, And juniper roots [ for] their meat.
18_JOB_30_05 they were driven forth from among [ men], [ they cried after them as [ after] A thief;]
18_JOB_30_06 to dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, [ in] caves of the earth, And [ in] the rocks.
18_JOB_30_07 among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
18_JOB_30_08 [ they were] children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
18_JOB_30_09 And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
18_JOB_30_10 they abhor me, they flee far from me, And spare not to spit in my face.
18_JOB_30_11 because he hath loosed my cord, And afflicted me, they have also let Loose the bridle before me.
18_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.
18_JOB_30_13 they mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.
18_JOB_30_14 they came [ upon me] as A wide breaking in [ of waters]: in the desolation they rolled themselves [ upon me].
18_JOB_30_15 terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: And my welfare passeth away as A cloud.
18_JOB_30_16 And now my soul Is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
18_JOB_30_17 my bones are pierced in me in the night season: And my sinews take no rest.
18_JOB_30_18 by the great force [ of my disease] Is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
18_JOB_30_19 he hath cast me into the mire, And I am become like dust And ashes.
18_JOB_30_20 I cry unto thee, And thou dost not hear me: I stand up, And thou regardest me [ not].
18_JOB_30_21 thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.
18_JOB_30_22 thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride [ upon it], And dissolvest my substance.
18_JOB_30_23 for I know [ that] thou Wilt bring me [ to] death, And [ to] the house appointed for all living.
18_JOB_30_24 Howbeit he will not stretch out [ his] hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.
18_JOB_30_25 did not I weep for him that was in Trouble? was [ not] my soul grieved for the poor?
18_JOB_30_26 when I looked for good, Then evil came [ unto me]: And when I waited for light, there came darkness.
18_JOB_30_27 my bowels boiled, And rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.
18_JOB_30_28 I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, [ And] I cried in the congregation.
18_JOB_30_29 I am A brother to dragons, And A companion to owls.
18_JOB_30_30 my skin Is black upon me, And my bones are burned with heat.
18_JOB_30_31 my harp also Is [ turned] to mourning, And my organ into the voice of them that weep.
