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

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
