Job 30
1 Ref 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 Ref They are wasted for need of food, biting the dry earth; their only hope of life is in the waste land.
4 Ref They are pulling off the salt leaves from the brushwood, and making a meal of roots.
5 Ref They are sent out from among their townsmen, men are crying after them as thieves
6 Ref They have to get a resting-place in the hollows of the valleys, in holes of the earth and rocks.
7 Ref They make noises like asses among the brushwood; they get together under the thorns.
8 Ref They are sons of shame, and of men without a name, who have been forced out of the land.
9 Ref And now I have become their song, and I am a word of shame to them.
