Job 30 (kjv)

But now they that are younger^{H6810 H3117} than I have me in derision^H7832, whose fathers^H1 I would have disdained^H3988 to have set^H7896 with the dogs^H3611 of my flock^H6629.²Yea, whereto^H4100 might the strength^H3581 of their hands^H3027 profit me, in whom old age^H3624 was perished^H6?³For want^H2639 and famine^H3720 they were solitary^H1565; fleeing^H6207 into the wilderness^H6723 in former time^H570 desolate^H7722 and waste^H4875.⁴Who cut up^H6998 mallows^H4408 by the bushes^H7880, and juniper^H7574 roots^H8328 for their meat^H3899.⁵They were driven forth^H1644 from among^H1460 men, (they cried^H7321 after them as after a thief^H1590;)⁶To dwell^H7931 in the clifts^H6178 of the valleys^H5158, in caves^H2356 of the earth^H6083, and in the rocks^H3710.⁷Among the bushes^H7880 they brayed^H5101; under the nettles^H2738 they were gathered together^H5596.⁸They were children^H1121 of fools^H5036, yea, children^H1121 of base men^H8034: they were viler^H5217 than the earth^H776.⁹And now am I their song^H5058, yea, I am their byword^H4405.¹⁰They abhor^H8581 me, they flee far^H7368 from me, and spare^H2820 not to spit^H7536 in my face^H6440.¹¹Because he hath loosed^H6605 my cord^H3499, and afflicted^H6031 me, they have also let loose^H7971 the bridle^H7448 before^H6440 me.¹²Upon my right^H3225 hand rise^H6965 the youth^H6526; they push away^H7971 my feet^H7272, and they raise up^H5549 against me the ways^H734 of their destruction^H343.¹³They mar^H5420 my path^H5410, they set forward^H3276 my calamity^{H1942 H1962}, they have no helper^H5826.¹⁴They came^H857 upon me as a wide^H7342 breaking^H6556 in of waters: in^H8478 the desolation^H7722 they rolled^H1556 themselves upon me.

¹⁵Terrors^H1091 are turned^H2015 upon me: they pursue^H7291 my soul^H5082 as the wind^H7307: and my welfare^H3444 passeth away^H5674 as a cloud^H5645.¹⁶And now my soul^H5315 is poured out^H8210 upon me; the days^H3117 of affliction^H6040 have taken hold^H270 upon me.¹⁷My bones^H6106 are pierced^H5365 in me in the night season^H3915: and my sinews^H6207 take no rest^H7901.¹⁸By the great^H7230 force^H3581 of my disease is my garment^H3830 changed^H2664: it bindeth me about^H247 as the collar^H6310 of my coat^H3801.¹⁹He hath cast^H3384 me into the mire^H2563, and I am become like^H4911 dust^H6083 and ashes^H665.²⁰I cry^H7768 unto thee, and thou dost not hear^H6030 me: I stand up^H5975, and thou regardest^H995 me not.²¹Thou art become^H2015 cruel^H393 to me: with thy strong^H6108 hand^H3027 thou opposest^H7852 thyself against me.²²Thou liftest me up^H5375 to the wind^H7307; thou causest me to ride^H7392 upon it, and dissolvest^H4127 my substance^{H8454 H7738}.²³For I know^H3045 that thou wilt bring^H7725 me to death^H4194, and to the house^H1004 appointed^H4150 for all living^H2416.²⁴Howbeit he will not stretch out^H7971 his hand^H3027 to the grave^H1164, though they cry^H7769 in his destruction^H6365.²⁵Did not I weep^H1058 for him that was in trouble^{H7186 H3117}? was not my soul^H5315 grieved^H5701 for the poor^H34?²⁶When I looked^H6960 for good^H2896, then evil^H7451 came^H935 unto me: and when I waited^H3176 for light^H216, there came^H935 darkness^H652.²⁷My bowels^H4578 boiled^H7570, and rested^H1826 not: the days^H3117 of affliction^H6040 prevented^H6923 me.²⁸I went^H1980 mourning^H6937 without the sun^H2535: I stood up^H6965, and I cried^H7768 in the congregation^H6951.²⁹I am a brother^H251 to dragons^H8577, and a companion^H7453 to owls^{H1323 H3284}.³⁰My skin^H5785 is black^H7835 upon me, and my bones^H6106 are burned^H2787 with heat^H2721.³¹My harp^H3658 also is turned to mourning^H60, and my organ^H5748 into the voice^H6963 of them that weep^H1058.
