Job’s Present State Is Humiliating

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:1 -

“But now those who are younger than I mock me,

Whose fathers I refused to put with the dogs of my flock.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:2 -

“Indeed, what good was the strength of their hands to me?

Vigor had perished from them.

“From poverty and famine they are gaunt,

They who gnaw at the dry ground by night in waste and desolation,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:4 -

Who pluck saltweed by the bushes,

And whose food is the root of the broom shrub.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:5 -

They shout against them as against a thief,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:6 -

So that they live on the slopes of ravines,

In holes in the ground and among the rocks.

“Among the bushes they [fn]cry out;

Under the weeds they are gathered together.

And they do not [fn]refrain from spitting in my face.

“Because He has undone [fn]my [fn]bowstring and afflicted me,

They have cast off the bridle before me.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:12 -

“On the right hand their [fn]mob arises;

They push aside my feet and pile up their ways of destruction against me.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:13 -

“They break up my path,

They promote my destruction;

No one restrains them.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:14 -

“As through a wide gap they come,

[fn]Amid the storm they roll on.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:15 -

“Sudden terrors are turned upon me;

They chase away my dignity like the wind,

And my [fn]prosperity has passed away like a cloud.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:16 -

“And now my soul is poured out [fn]within me;

Days of misery have seized me.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:17 -

“At night it pierces my bones [fn]within me,

And my gnawing pains do not rest.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:18 -

“By a great force my garment is distorted;

It ties me up like the collar of my coat.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:19 -

“He has thrown me into the mire,

And I have become like dust and ashes.

“I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer me;

I stand up, and You turn Your attention against me.

“You have [fn]become cruel to me;

With the strength of Your hand You persecute me.

And You dissolve me in a storm.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:23 -

“For I know that You will bring me to death,

And to the house of meeting for all living.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:24 -

“Yet does one in a heap of ruins not reach out with his hand,

Or in his disaster does he not cry out for help?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:25 -

“Have I not wept for the [fn]one whose life is hard?

Was my soul not grieved for the needy?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:26 -

“When I expected good, evil came;

When I waited for light, darkness came.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:27 -

[fn]I am seething within and cannot rest;

Days of misery confront me.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:28 -

“I go about [fn]mourning without comfort;

I stand up in the assembly and cry out for help.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:29 -

“I have become a brother to jackals,

And a companion of ostriches.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:30 -

And my bones burn with [fn]fever.

And my flute to the sound of those who weep.
