CHAP. XXX.
1 Iobs honour is turned into extreme contempt. 15 His prosperitie into calamitie.
1But nowe they that are yonger then I, haue mee in derision, whose fathers I would haue disdained to haue set with the dogs of my flocke.1
2Yea whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom olde age was perished?
3For want and famine they were solitarie: flying into the wildernesse in former time desolate and waste:3
4Who cut vp mallowes by the bushes, and Iuniper rootes for their meate.
5They were driuen foorth from among men, (they cried after them, as after a thiefe.)
6To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in caues of the earth, and in the rockes.6
7Among the bushes they brayed: vnder the nettles they were gathered together.
8They were children of fooles, yea children of base men: they were viler then the earth.8
9And now am I their song, yea I am their by-word.9
10They abhorre me, they flee farre from me, and spare not to spit in my face.10
11Because hee hath loosed my cord and afflicted me, they haue also let loose the bridle before me.
13They marre my path, they set forward my calamitie, they haue no helper.
14They came vpon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselues vpon me.
15Terrours are turned vpon mee: they pursue my soule as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloude.15
16And now my soule is powred out vpon me: the dayes of affliction haue taken hold vpon me.
17My bones are pierced in mee in the night season: and my sinewes take no rest.
19He hath cast mee into the myre, and I am become like dust and ashes.
20I crie vnto thee, and thou doest not heare me: I stand vp, and thou regardest me not.
21Thou art become cruell to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thy selfe against me.21
22Thou liftest me vp to the wind: thou causest me to ride vpon it, and dissoluest my substance.22
23For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all liuing.
24Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the graue, though they cry in his destruction.24
25Did not I weepe for him that was in trouble? was not my soule grieued for the poore?25
26When I looked for good, then euill came vnto mee: and when I waited for light, there came darkenes.
27My bowels boyled and rested not: the dayes of affliction preuented mee.
28I went mourning without the Sunne: I stood vp, and I cried in the Congregation.
29I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owles.29
30My skinne is blacke vpon mee, and my bones are burnt with heat.
31My harpe also is turned to mourning, and my organe into the voyce of them that weepe.
