{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.
