Viewing verse 3-8 of Job 30 (with context)
Read Full Chapter But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.*
Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.**
Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.
They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)
To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.*
Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.*
And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.*
Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.
