Job: Chapter 30 (basicenglish)

Job 30
- 1 But now those who are younger than I make sport of me; those whose fathers I would not have put with the dogs of my flocks.
- 2 Of what use is the strength of their hands to me? all force is gone from them.
- 3 They are wasted for need of food, biting the dry earth; their only hope of life is in the waste land.
- 4 They are pulling off the salt leaves from the brushwood, and making a meal of roots.
- 5 They are sent out from among their townsmen, men are crying after them as thieves
- 6 They have to get a resting-place in the hollows of the valleys, in holes of the earth and rocks.
- 7 They make noises like asses among the brushwood; they get together under the thorns.
- 8 They are sons of shame, and of men without a name, who have been forced out of the land.
- 9 And now I have become their song, and I am a word of shame to them.
- 10 I am disgusting to them; they keep away from me, and put marks of shame on me.
- 11 For he has made loose the cord of my bow, and put me to shame; he has sent down my flag to the earth before me.
- 12 The lines of his men of war put themselves in order, and make high their ways of destruction against me:
- 13 They have made waste my roads, with a view to my destruction; his bowmen come round about me;
- 14 As through a wide broken place in the wall they come on, I am overturned by the shock of their attack.
- 15 Fears have come on me; my hope is gone like the wind, and my well-being like a cloud.
- 16 But now my soul is turned to water in me, days of trouble overtake me:
- 17 The flesh is gone from my bones, and they give me no rest; there is no end to my pains.
- 18 With great force he takes a grip of my clothing, pulling me by the neck of my coat.
- 19 Truly God has made me low, even to the earth, and I have become like dust.
- 20 You give no answer to my cry, and take no note of my prayer.
- 21 You have become cruel to me; the strength of your hand is hard on me.
- 22 Lifting me up, you make me go on the wings of the wind; I am broken up by the storm.
- 23 For I am certain that you will send me back to death, and to the meeting-place ordered for all living.
- 24 Has not my hand been stretched out in help to the poor? have I not been a saviour to him in his trouble?
- 25 Have I not been weeping for the crushed? and was not my soul sad for him who was in need?
- 26 For I was looking for good, and evil came; I was waiting for light, and it became dark.
- 27 My feelings are strongly moved, and give me no rest; days of trouble have overtaken me.
- 28 I go about in dark clothing, uncomforted; I get up in the public place, crying out for help.
- 29 I have become a brother to the jackals, and go about in the company of ostriches.
- 30 My skin is black and dropping off me; and my bones are burning with the heat of my disease.
- 31 And my music has been turned to sorrow, and the sound of my pipe into the noise of weeping.
