Job 30:1-14

1“But now they alaugh at me,
men who are byounger than I,
whose fathers I would have disdained
to set with the dogs of my flock.
2What could I gain from the strength of their hands,
cmen whose dvigor is gone?
3Through want and hard hunger
they egnaw fthe dry ground by night in gwaste and desolation;
4they pick saltwort and the leaves of bushes,
and the roots of the broom tree for their food.
Or warmth

5 iThey are driven out from human company;
they shout after them as after a thief.
6In the gullies of the torrents they must dwell,
in holes of the earth and of jthe rocks.
7Among the bushes they kbray;
under lthe nettles they huddle together.
8A senseless, a nameless brood,
they have been whipped out of the land.
9 “And now I have become their msong;
I am na byword to them.
10They oabhor me; they keep aloof from me;
they do not hesitate to pspit at the sight of me.
11Because God has loosed my cord and humbled me,
they have cast off restraint
Hebrew the bridle
in my presence.
12On my rright hand the rabble rise;
they push away my feet;
they scast up against me their ways of destruction.
13They break up my path;
they promote my tcalamity;
they need no one to help them.
14As through a wide ubreach they come;
amid the crash they roll on.
