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 .
