| 30:1 |
And now, laughed at me, Have the younger in days than I, Whose fathers I have loathed to set With the dogs of my flock.
|
| 30:2 |
Also -- the power of their hands, why [is it] to me? On them hath old age perished.
|
| 30:3 |
With want and with famine gloomy, Those fleeing to a dry place, Formerly a desolation and waste,
|
| 30:4 |
Those cropping mallows near a shrub, And broom-roots [is] their food.
|
| 30:5 |
From the midst they are cast out, (They shout against them as a thief),
|
| 30:6 |
In a frightful place of valleys to dwell, Holes of earth and clefts.
|
| 30:7 |
Among shrubs they do groan, Under nettles they are gathered together.
|
| 30:8 |
Sons of folly -- even sons without name, They have been smitten from the land.
|
| 30:9 |
And now, their song I have been, And I am to them for a byword.
|
| 30:10 |
They have abominated me, They have kept far from me, And from before me have not spared to spit.
|
| 30:11 |
Because His cord He loosed and afflicteth me, And the bridle from before me, They have cast away.
|
| 30:12 |
On the right hand doth a brood arise, My feet they have cast away, And they raise up against me, Their paths of calamity.
|
| 30:13 |
They have broken down my path, By my calamity they profit, `He hath no helper.'
|
| 30:14 |
As a wide breach they come, Under the desolation have rolled themselves.
|
| 30:15 |
He hath turned against me terrors, It pursueth as the wind mine abundance, And as a thick cloud, Hath my safety passed away.
|
| 30:16 |
And now, in me my soul poureth itself out, Seize me do days of affliction.
|
| 30:17 |
At night my bone hath been pierced in me, And mine eyelids do not lie down.
|
| 30:18 |
By the abundance of power, Is my clothing changed, As the mouth of my coat it doth gird me.
|
| 30:19 |
Casting me into mire, And I am become like dust and ashes.
|
| 30:20 |
I cry unto Thee, And Thou dost not answer me, I have stood, and Thou dost consider me.
|
| 30:21 |
Thou art turned to be fierce to me, With the strength of Thy hand, Thou oppresest me.
|
| 30:22 |
Thou dost lift me up, On the wind Thou dost cause me to ride, And Thou meltest -- Thou levellest me.
|
| 30:23 |
For I have known To death Thou dost bring me back, And [to] the house appointed for all living.
|
| 30:24 |
Surely not against the heap Doth He send forth the hand, Though in its ruin they have safety.
|
| 30:25 |
Did not I weep for him whose day is hard? Grieved hath my soul for the needy.
|
| 30:26 |
When good I expected, then cometh evil, And I wait for light, and darkness cometh.
|
| 30:27 |
My bowels have boiled, and have not ceased, Gone before me have days of affliction.
|
| 30:28 |
Mourning I have gone without the sun, I have risen, in an assembly I cry.
|
| 30:29 |
A brother I have been to dragons, And a companion to daughters of the ostrich.
|
| 30:30 |
My skin hath been black upon me, And my bone hath burned from heat,
|
| 30:31 |
And my harp doth become mourning, And my organ the sound of weeping.
