| 30:1 | But now they that are younger6810 than I have me in derision,7832 whose fathers1 I would have disdained3988 to have set7896 with the dogs3611 of my flock.6629 | |
| 30:2 | Yea, whereto4100 might the strength3581 of their hands3027 profit me, in whom old age3624 was perished?6 | |
| 30:3 | For want2639 and famine3720 they were solitary;1565 fleeing6207 into the wilderness6723 in former time570 desolate7722 and waste.4875 | |
| 30:4 | Who cut up6998 mallows4408 by the bushes,7880 and juniper7574 roots8328 for their meat.3899 | |
| 30:5 | They were driven forth1644 from among1460 men, (they cried7321 after them as after a thief;)1590 | |
| 30:6 | To dwell7931 in the clifts6178 of the valleys,5158 in caves2356 of the earth,6083 and in the rocks.3710 | |
| 30:7 | Among the bushes7880 they brayed;5101 under the nettles2738 they were gathered together.5596 | |
| 30:8 | They were children1121 of fools,5036 yea, children1121 of base men:8034 they were viler5217 than the earth.776 | |
| 30:9 | ||
| 30:10 | They abhor8581 me, they flee far7368 from me, and spare2820 not to spit7536 in my face.6440 | |
| 30:11 | Because he hath loosed6605 my cord,3499 and afflicted6031 me, they have also let loose7971 the bridle7448 before6440 me. | |
| 30:12 | Upon my right3225 hand rise6965 the youth;6526 they push away7971 my feet,7272 and they raise up5549 against me the ways734 of their destruction.343 | |
| 30:13 | They mar5420 my path,5410 they set forward3276 my calamity,1942 they have no helper.5826 | |
| 30:14 | They came857 upon me as a wide7342 breaking in6556 of waters: in8478 the desolation7722 they rolled1556 themselves upon me. | |
| 30:15 | Terrors1091 are turned2015 upon me: they pursue7291 my soul5082 as the wind:7307 and my welfare3444 passeth away5674 as a cloud.5645 | |
| 30:16 | And now my soul5315 is poured out8210 upon me; the days3117 of affliction6040 have taken hold upon me.270 | |
| 30:17 | My bones6106 are pierced5365 in me in the night season:3915 and my sinews6207 take no rest.7901 | |
| 30:18 | By the great7230 force3581 of my disease is my garment3830 changed:2664 it bindeth me about247 as the collar6310 of my coat.3801 | |
| 30:19 | He hath cast3384 me into the mire,2563 and I am become like4911 dust6083 and ashes.665 | |
| 30:20 | I cry7768 unto thee, and thou dost not hear6030 me: I stand up,5975 and thou regardest995 me not. | |
| 30:21 | Thou art become2015 cruel393 to me: with thy strong6108 hand3027 thou opposest7852 thyself against me. | |
| 30:22 | Thou liftest me up5375 to the wind;7307 thou causest me to ride7392 upon it, and dissolvest4127 my substance.8454 | |
| 30:23 | For I know3045 that thou wilt bring7725 me to death,4194 and to the house1004 appointed4150 for all living.2416 | |
| 30:24 | Howbeit he will not stretch out7971 his hand3027 to the grave,1164 though they cry7769 in his destruction.6365 | |
| 30:25 | Did not I weep1058 for him that was in trouble?7186 was not my soul5315 grieved5701 for the poor?34 | |
| 30:26 | When I looked6960 for good,2896 then evil7451 came935 unto me: and when I waited3176 for light,216 there came935 darkness.652 | |
| 30:27 | My bowels4578 boiled,7570 and rested1826 not: the days3117 of affliction6040 prevented6923 me. | |
| 30:28 | I went1980 mourning6937 without the sun:2535 I stood up,6965 and I cried7768 in the congregation.6951 | |
| 30:29 | I am a brother251 to dragons,8577 and a companion7453 to owls.1323 | |
| 30:30 | My skin5785 is black7835 upon me, and my bones6106 are burned2787 with heat.2721 | |
| 30:31 | My harp3658 also is turned to mourning,60 and my organ5748 into the voice6963 of them that weep.1058 |
