# Job 30 (New King James Version)
|
|
Job's Wealth Now Poverty
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 30
|
|
###### 1 "But now they mock at me, _men_ younger than I,
|
|
Whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock.
|
|
|
|
###### 2 Indeed, what _profit_ is the strength of their hands to me?
|
|
Their vigor has perished.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 _They are_ gaunt from want and famine,
|
|
Fleeing late to the wilderness, desolate and waste,
|
|
|
|
###### 4 Who pluck mallow by the bushes,
|
|
And broom tree roots _for_ their food.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 They were driven out from among _men,_
|
|
They shouted at them as _at_ a thief.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 _They had_ to live in the clefts of the valleys,
|
|
_In_ caves of the earth and the rocks.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 Among the bushes they brayed,
|
|
Under the nettles they nestled.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 _They were_ sons of fools,
|
|
Yes, sons of vile men;
|
|
They were scourged from the land.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 "And now I am their taunting song;
|
|
Yes, I am their byword.
|
|
|
|
###### 10 They abhor me, they keep far from me;
|
|
They do not hesitate to spit in my face.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 Because He has loosed my bowstring and afflicted me,
|
|
They have cast off restraint before me.
|
|
|
|
###### 12 At _my_ right _hand_ the rabble arises;
|
|
They push away my feet,
|
|
And they raise against me their ways of destruction.
|
|
|
|
###### 13 They break up my path,
|
|
They promote my calamity;
|
|
They have no helper.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 They come as broad breakers;
|
|
Under the ruinous storm they roll along.
|
|
|
|
###### 15 Terrors are turned upon me;
|
|
They pursue my honor as the wind,
|
|
And my prosperity has passed like a cloud.
|
|
|
|
###### 16 "And now my soul is poured out because of my _plight;_
|
|
The days of affliction take hold of me.
|
|
|
|
###### 17 My bones are pierced in me at night,
|
|
And my gnawing pains take no rest.
|
|
|
|
###### 18 By great force my garment is disfigured;
|
|
It binds me about as the collar of my coat.
|
|
|
|
###### 19 He has cast me into the mire,
|
|
And I have become like dust and ashes.
|
|
|
|
###### 20 "I cry out to You, but You do not answer me;
|
|
I stand up, and You regard me.
|
|
|
|
###### 21 _But_ You have become cruel to me;
|
|
With the strength of Your hand You oppose me.
|
|
|
|
###### 22 You lift me up to the wind and cause me to ride _on it;_
|
|
You spoil my success.
|
|
|
|
###### 23 For I know _that_ You will bring me _to_ death,
|
|
And _to_ the house appointed for all living.
|
|
|
|
###### 24 "Surely He would not stretch out _His_ hand against a heap of ruins,
|
|
If they cry out when He destroys _it._
|
|
|
|
###### 25 Have I not wept for him who was in trouble?
|
|
Has _not_ my soul grieved for the poor?
|
|
|
|
###### 26 But when I looked for good, evil came _to me;_
|
|
And when I waited for light, then came darkness.
|
|
|
|
###### 27 My heart is in turmoil and cannot rest;
|
|
Days of affliction confront me.
|
|
|
|
###### 28 I go about mourning, but not in the sun;
|
|
I stand up in the assembly _and_ cry out for help.
|
|
|
|
###### 29 I am a brother of jackals,
|
|
And a companion of ostriches.
|
|
|
|
###### 30 My skin grows black and falls from me;
|
|
My bones burn with fever.
|
|
|
|
###### 31 My harp is _turned_ to mourning,
|
|
And my flute to the voice of those who weep.
