30:1 But now [they that are] younger 6810 3117 than I have me in derision 7832 8804, whose fathers 1 I would have disdained 3988 8804 to have set 7896 8800 with the dogs 3611 of my flock 6629.(younger�: Heb. of fewer days than I)
30:2 Yea, whereto 4100 [might] the strength 3581 of their hands 3027 [profit] me, in whom old age 3624 was perished 6 8804?
30:3 For want 2639 and famine 3720 [they were] solitary 1565; fleeing 6207 8802 into the wilderness 6723 in former time 570 desolate 7722 and waste 4875.(solitary: or, dark as the night)(in�: Heb. yesternight)
30:4 Who cut up 6998 8801 mallows 4408 by the bushes 7880, and juniper 7574 roots 8328 [for] their meat 3899.
30:5 They were driven forth 1644 8792 from among 1460 [men], (they cried 7321 8686 after them as [after] a thief 1590;)
30:6 To dwell 7931 8800 in the clifts 6178 of the valleys 5158, [in] caves 2356 of the earth 6083, and [in] the rocks 3710.(caves: Heb. holes)
30:7 Among the bushes 7880 they brayed 5101 8799; under the nettles 2738 they were gathered together 5596 8792.
30:8 [They were] children 1121 of fools 5036, yea, children 1121 of base men 8034: they were viler 5217 8738 than the earth 776.(base�: Heb. men of no name)
30:9 And now am I their song 5058, yea, I am their byword 4405.
30:10 They abhor 8581 8765 me, they flee far 7368 8804 from me, and spare 2820 8804 not to spit 7536 in my face 6440.(and�: Heb. and withhold not spittle from)
30:11 Because he hath loosed 6605 8765 my cord 3499, and afflicted 6031 8762 me, they have also let loose 7971 8765 the bridle 7448 before 6440 me.
30:12 Upon [my] right 3225 [hand] rise 6965 8799 the youth 6526; they push away 7971 8765 my feet 7272, and they raise up 5549 8799 against me the ways 734 of their destruction 343.
30:13 They mar 5420 8804 my path 5410, they set forward 3276 8686 my calamity 1942 8675 1962, they have no helper 5826 8802.
30:14 They came 857 8799 [upon me] as a wide 7342 breaking 6556 in [of waters]: in 8478 the desolation 7722 they rolled 1556 8701 themselves [upon me].
30:15 Terrors 1091 are turned 2015 8717 upon me: they pursue 7291 8799 my soul 5082 as the wind 7307: and my welfare 3444 passeth away 5674 8804 as a cloud 5645.(my soul: Heb. my principal one)
30:16 And now my soul 5315 is poured out 8210 8691 upon me; the days 3117 of affliction 6040 have taken hold 270 8799 upon me.
30:17 My bones 6106 are pierced 5365 8765 in me in the night season 3915: and my sinews 6207 8802 take no rest 7901 8799.
30:18 By the great 7230 force 3581 [of my disease] is my garment 3830 changed 2664 8691: it bindeth me about 247 8799 as the collar 6310 of my coat 3801.
30:19 He hath cast 3384 8689 me into the mire 2563, and I am become like 4911 8691 dust 6083 and ashes 665.
30:20 I cry 7768 8762 unto thee, and thou dost not hear 6030 8799 me: I stand up 5975 8804, and thou regardest 995 8709 me [not].
30:21 Thou art become 2015 8735 cruel 393 to me: with thy strong 6108 hand 3027 thou opposest 7852 8799 thyself against me.(become�: Heb. turned to be cruel)(thy�: Heb. the strength of thy hand)
30:22 Thou liftest me up 5375 8799 to the wind 7307; thou causest me to ride 7392 8686 [upon it], and dissolvest 4127 8787 my substance 8454 8675 7738 8762.(substance: or, wisdom)
30:23 For I know 3045 8804 [that] thou wilt bring 7725 8686 me [to] death 4194, and [to] the house 1004 appointed 4150 for all living 2416.
30:24 Howbeit he will not stretch out 7971 8799 [his] hand 3027 to the grave 1164, though they cry 7769 in his destruction 6365.(grave: Heb. heap)
30:25 Did not I weep 1058 8804 for him that was in trouble 7186 3117? was [not] my soul 5315 grieved 5701 8804 for the poor 34?(in trouble: Heb. hard of day?)
30:26 When I looked 6960 8765 for good 2896, then evil 7451 came 935 8799 [unto me]: and when I waited 3176 8762 for light 216, there came 935 8799 darkness 652.
30:27 My bowels 4578 boiled 7570 8795, and rested 1826 8804 not: the days 3117 of affliction 6040 prevented 6923 8765 me.
30:28 I went 1980 8765 mourning 6937 8802 without the sun 2535: I stood up 6965 8804, [and] I cried 7768 8762 in the congregation 6951.
30:29 I am a brother 251 to dragons 8577, and a companion 7453 to owls 1323 3284.(owls: or, ostriches)
30:30 My skin 5785 is black 7835 8804 upon me, and my bones 6106 are burned 2787 8804 with heat 2721.
30:31 My harp 3658 also is [turned] to mourning 60, and my organ 5748 into the voice 6963 of them that weep 1058 8802.
