Editing Job 30

* [[Job 30:1|1]]  But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.

* [[Job 30:2|2]] Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?

* [[Job 30:3|3]] For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.

* [[Job 30:4|4]] Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.

* [[Job 30:5|5]] They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)

* [[Job 30:6|6]] To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.

* [[Job 30:7|7]]  Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.

* [[Job 30:8|8]] They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.

* [[Job 30:9|9]] And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.

* [[Job 30:10|10]]  They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.

* [[Job 30:11|11]] Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.

* [[Job 30:12|12]] Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.

* [[Job 30:13|13]] They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.

* [[Job 30:14|14]] They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.

* [[Job 30:15|15]] Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.

* [[Job 30:16|16]] And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.

* [[Job 30:17|17]] My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.

* [[Job 30:18|18]] By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.

* [[Job 30:19|19]] He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.

* [[Job 30:20|20]] I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.

* [[Job 30:21|21]] Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.

* [[Job 30:22|22]] Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.

* [[Job 30:23|23]] For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.

* [[Job 30:24|24]] Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.

* [[Job 30:25|25]] Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?

* [[Job 30:26|26]] When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.

* [[Job 30:27|27]] My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.

* [[Job 30:28|28]] I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.

* [[Job 30:29|29]] I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.

* [[Job 30:30|30]] My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.

* [[Job 30:31|31]]  My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
