Job 30:5-31

30:5

They were driven forth
<01644> (8792)

from among
<01460>

[men], (they cried
<07321> (8686)

after them as [after] a thief
<01590>;)

30:6

To dwell
<07931> (8800)

in the clifts
<06178>

of the valleys
<05158>_,

[in] caves
<02356>

of the earth
<06083>_,

and [in] the rocks
<03710>_.

{caves: Heb. holes}

30:7

Among the bushes
<07880>

they brayed
<05101> (8799)_;

under the nettles
<02738>

they were gathered together
<05596> (8792)_.

30:8

[They were] children
<01121>

of fools
<05036>_,

yea, children
<01121>

of base men
<08034>_:

they were viler
<05217> (8738)

than the earth
<0776>_.

{base...: Heb. men of no name}

30:9

And now am I their song
<05058>_,

yea, I am their byword
<04405>_.

30:10

They abhor
<08581> (8765)

me, they flee far
<07368> (8804)

from me, and spare
<02820> (8804)

not to spit
<07536>

in my face
<06440>_.

{and...: Heb. and withhold not spittle from}

30:11

Because he hath loosed
<06605> (8765)

my cord
<03499>_,

and afflicted
<06031> (8762)

me, they have also let loose
<07971> (8765)

the bridle
<07448>

before
<06440>

me.

30:12

Upon [my] right
<03225>

[hand] rise
<06965> (8799)

the youth
<06526>_;

they push away
<07971> (8765)

my feet
<07272>_,

and they raise up
<05549> (8799)

against me the ways
<0734>

of their destruction
<0343>_.

30:13

They mar
<05420> (8804)

my path
<05410>_,

they set forward
<03276> (8686)

my calamity
<01942> (8675) <01962>_,

they have no helper
<05826> (8802)_.

30:14

They came
<0857> (8799)

[upon me] as a wide
<07342>

breaking
<06556>

in [of waters]: in
<08478>

the desolation
<07722>

they rolled
<01556> (8701)

themselves [upon me].

30:15

Terrors
<01091>

are turned
<02015> (8717)

upon me: they pursue
<07291> (8799)

my soul
<05082>

as the wind
<07307>_:

and my welfare
<03444>

passeth away
<05674> (8804)

as a cloud
<05645>_.

{my soul: Heb. my principal one}

30:16

And now my soul
<05315>

is poured out
<08210> (8691)

upon me; the days
<03117>

of affliction
<06040>

have taken hold
<0270> (8799)

upon me.

30:17

My bones
<06106>

are pierced
<05365> (8765)

in me in the night season
<03915>_:

and my sinews
<06207> (8802)

take no rest
<07901> (8799)_.

30:18

By the great
<07230>

force
<03581>

[of my disease] is my garment
<03830>

changed
<02664> (8691)_:

it bindeth me about
<0247> (8799)

as the collar
<06310>

of my coat
<03801>_.

30:19

He hath cast
<03384> (8689)

me into the mire
<02563>_,

and I am become like
<04911> (8691)

dust
<06083>

and ashes
<0665>_.

30:20

I cry
<07768> (8762)

unto thee, and thou dost not hear
<06030> (8799)

me: I stand up
<05975> (8804)_,

and thou regardest
<0995> (8709)

me [not].

30:21

Thou art become
<02015> (8735)

cruel
<0393>

to me: with thy strong
<06108>

hand
<03027>

thou opposest
<07852> (8799)

thyself against me. {become...: Heb. turned to be cruel} {thy...: Heb. the strength of thy hand}

30:22

Thou liftest me up
<05375> (8799)

to the wind
<07307>_;

thou causest me to ride
<07392> (8686)

[upon it], and dissolvest
<04127> (8787)

my substance
<08454> (8675) <07738> (8762)_.

{substance: or, wisdom}

30:23

For I know
<03045> (8804)

[that] thou wilt bring
<07725> (8686)

me [to] death
<04194>_,

and [to] the house
<01004>

appointed
<04150>

for all living
<02416>_.

30:24

Howbeit he will not stretch out
<07971> (8799)

[his] hand
<03027>

to the grave
<01164>_,

though they cry
<07769>

in his destruction
<06365>_.

{grave: Heb. heap}

30:25

Did not I weep
<01058> (8804)

for him that was in trouble
<07186> <03117>_?

was [not] my soul
<05315>

grieved
<05701> (8804)

for the poor
<034>_?

{in trouble: Heb. hard of day?}

30:26

When I looked
<06960> (8765)

for good
<02896>_,

then evil
<07451>

came
<0935> (8799)

[unto me]: and when I waited
<03176> (8762)

for light
<0216>_,

there came
<0935> (8799)

darkness
<0652>_.

30:27

My bowels
<04578>

boiled
<07570> (8795)_,

and rested
<01826> (8804)

not: the days
<03117>

of affliction
<06040>

prevented
<06923> (8765)

me.

30:28

I went
<01980> (8765)

mourning
<06937> (8802)

without the sun
<02535>_:

I stood up
<06965> (8804)_,

[and] I cried
<07768> (8762)

in the congregation
<06951>_.

30:29

I am a brother
<0251>

to dragons
<08577>_,

and a companion
<07453>

to owls
<01323> <03284>_.

{owls: or, ostriches}

30:30

My skin
<05785>

is black
<07835> (8804)

upon me, and my bones
<06106>

are burned
<02787> (8804)

with heat
<02721>_.

30:31

My harp
<03658>

also is [turned] to mourning
<060>_,

and my organ
<05748>

into the voice
<06963>

of them that weep
<01058> (8802)_.
