Job's Present State Is Humiliating

1

"But nowh6258 thoseh6810 youngerh6810 thanh4480 I  amockh7832 me, Whoseh834 fathersh1 I disdainedh3988a to puth7896 with the dogsh3611 of my flockh6629.

2

"Indeedh1571, whath4100 good was the strengthh3581b of their handsh3027 to me? Vigorh3624 had perishedh6 from them.

3

"From wanth2639 and famineh3720 they are gaunth1565 Who gnawh6207 the dryh6723 ground by nighth570 in wasteh7724b and desolationh4875,

4

Who pluckh6998  1mallowh4408 by the bushesh7880, And whose foodh3899 is the rooth8328 of the broomh7574 shrubh7574.

5

"They are drivenh1644 from the communityh1460b; They shouth7321 againsth5921 them as against a thiefh1590,

6

So that they dwellh7931 in dreadfulh6178  1valleysh5158a, In holesh2356 of the earthh6083 and of the rocksh3710.

7

"Amongh996 the bushesh7880 they  1cryh5101 out; Underh8478 the nettlesh2738 they are gatheredh5596 togetherh5596.

8

1Foolsh1121h5036, evenh1571  2thoseh1121 withouth1097 a nameh8034, They were scourgedh5217 from the landh776.

9

"And nowh6258 I have becomeh1961 their  1 ataunth5058, I have even becomeh1961 a  bbywordh4405 to them.

10

"They abhorh8581 me and standh7368 aloofh7368 from me, And they do not  1refrainh2820 from  aspittingh7536 at my faceh6440.

11

"Becauseh3588  1He has loosedh6605a  2His  3bowstringh3499b and  aafflictedh6031a me, They have casth7971 offh7971  bthe bridleh7448 beforeh4480h6440 me.

12

"On the righth3225 handh3225 their  1broodh6526 arisesh6965; They  athrusth7971 aside my feeth7272  band buildh5549 up againsth5921 me their waysh734 of destructionh343.

13

"They  abreakh5420 up my pathh5410b, They profith3276  1from my destructionh1942; Noh3808 one restrainsh5826 them.

14

"As through a wideh7342 breachh6556 they comeh857,  1Amidh8478 the tempesth7724b they rollh1556 on.

15

aTerrorsh1091 are turnedh2015 againsth5921 me; They pursueh7291 my  1honorh5082 as the windh7307, And my  2prosperityh3444 has passedh5674a awayh5674a  blike a cloudh5645.

16

"And nowh6258  amy soulh5315 is pouredh8210 out  1withinh5921 me; Daysh3117 of afflictionh6040a have seizedh270 me.

17

"At nighth3915 it piercesh5365  amy bonesh6106  1withinh4480h5921 me, And my gnawingh6207 pains takeh7901 noh3808 resth7901.

18

"By a greath7230 forceh3581b my garmenth3830 is  adistortedh2664; It bindsh247 me about as the collarh6310 of my coath3801.

19

"He has casth3384 me into the  amireh2563a, And I have becomeh4911a likeh4911a dusth6083 and ashesh665.

20

"I  acryh7768 out to You for helph7768, but You do not answerh6030a me; I standh5975 up, and You turnh995 Your attentionh995 against me.

21

"You have  1becomeh2015 cruelh393 to me; With the mighth6108 of Your handh3027 You  apersecuteh7852 me.

22

"You  alifth5375 me up to the windh7307 and cause me to rideh7392; And You dissolveh4127 me in a stormh8663.

23

"For I knowh3045 that You  awill bringh7725 me to deathh4194 And to the  bhouseh1004 of meetingh4150 for allh3605 livingh2416a.

24

"Yeth389 does not one in a heaph5856 of ruinsh5856 stretchh7971 out his handh3027, Orh518 in his disasterh6365 thereforeh3651  acryh7769 out for helph7769?

25

"Have I not  awepth1058 for the  1one whose lifeh3117 is hardh7186? Was not my soulh5315 grievedh5701 for  bthe needyh34?

26

"Whenh3588 I  aexpectedh6960a goodh2896b, then evilh7451b cameh935; When I waitedh3176 for lighth216,  bthen darknessh652 cameh935.

27

1I am seethingh7570  awithinh4578 and cannoth3808 relaxh1826a; Daysh3117 of afflictionh6040a confronth6923 me.

28

"I goh1980 about  1 amourningh6937 withouth3808 comfort; I standh6965 up in the assemblyh6951 and  bcryh7768 out for helph7768.

29

"I have becomeh1961 a brotherh251 to  ajackalsh8565 And a companionh7453 of ostrichesh1323h3284.

30

"My  askinh5785 turnsh7835 blackh7835  1on me, And my  bbonesh6106 burnh2787 with  2feverh2721a.

31

"Therefore my  aharph3658  1is turnedh1961 to mourningh60, And my fluteh5748 to the soundh6963 of those who weeph1058.
