# ***JOB 30***

---

\[1\] “But now they laugh at me,

men who are younger than I,

whose fathers I would have disdained

to set with the dogs of my flock.

\[2\] What could I gain from the strength of their hands,

men whose vigor is gone?

\[3\] Through want and hard hunger

they gnaw the dry ground by night in waste and desolation;

\[4\] they pick saltwort and the leaves of bushes,

and the roots of the broom tree for their food.

\[5\] They are driven out from human company;

they shout after them as after a thief.

\[6\] In the gullies of the torrents they must dwell,

in holes of the earth and of the rocks.

\[7\] Among the bushes they bray;

under the nettles they huddle together.

\[8\] A senseless, a nameless brood,

they have been whipped out of the land.

\[9\] “And now I have become their song;

I am a byword to them.

\[10\] They abhor me; they keep aloof from me;

they do not hesitate to spit at the sight of me.

\[11\] Because God has loosed my cord and humbled me,

they have cast off restraint in my presence.

\[12\] On my right hand the rabble rise;

they push away my feet;

they cast up against me their ways of destruction.

\[13\] They break up my path;

they promote my calamity;

they need no one to help them.

\[14\] As through a wide breach they come;

amid the crash they roll on.

\[15\] Terrors are turned upon me;

my honor is pursued as by the wind,

and my prosperity has passed away like a cloud.

\[16\] “And now my soul is poured out within me;

days of affliction have taken hold of me.

\[17\] The night racks my bones,

and the pain that gnaws me takes no rest.

\[18\] With great force my garment is disfigured;

it binds me about like the collar of my tunic.

\[19\] God has cast me into the mire,

and I have become like dust and ashes.

\[20\] I cry to you for help and you do not answer me;

I stand, and you only look at me.

\[21\] You have turned cruel to me;

with the might of your hand you persecute me.

\[22\] You lift me up on the wind; you make me ride on it,

and you toss me about in the roar of the storm.

\[23\] For I know that you will bring me to death

and to the house appointed for all living.

\[24\] “Yet does not one in a heap of ruins stretch out his hand,

and in his disaster cry for help?

\[25\] Did not I weep for him whose day was hard?

Was not my soul grieved for the needy?

\[26\] But when I hoped for good, evil came,

and when I waited for light, darkness came.

\[27\] My inward parts are in turmoil and never still;

days of affliction come to meet me.

\[28\] I go about darkened, but not by the sun;

I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.

\[29\] I am a brother of jackals

and a companion of ostriches.

\[30\] My skin turns black and falls from me,

and my bones burn with heat.

\[31\] My lyre is turned to mourning,

and my pipe to the voice of those who weep. (ESV)
