Job 30
Reading Job chapter 30 in the Webster's Bible, public-domain text from 1833.
Verses 1–10
1 But now [they that are] younger than I, have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.
2 Yes, to what [might] the strength of their hands [profit] me, in whom old age had perished?
3 For want and famine [they were] solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
4 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots [for] their food.
5 They were driven forth from among [men], (they cried after them, as [after] a thief;)
6 To dwell in the clefts of the valleys, [in] caves of the earth, and [in] the rocks.
7 Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were collected.
8 [They were] children of fools, yes, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
9 And now I am their song, yes, I am their by-word.
10 They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
