Job 30:1-12

Great(i) 1 But now they that are younger then I, haue me in derysion: yee, euen they, whose fathers I wolde haue thought scorne to haue set with the dogges of my catell. 2 The power & strength of their handes might do me no good: for the tyme is but lost among them. 3 For very misery and honger, they fled in to the wyldernesse horrible & waist, 4 pluckynge vp nettels amonge the busshes, and the Iuniper rotes for their meate. 5 And when they were dryuen forth, men cryed after them, as it had bene after a thefe. 6 Their dwelling was besyde foule brokes, yee, in the caues and dennes of the earth. 7 Amonge the busshes wente they aboute crying, and vnder the thornes they gathered them selues together. 8 They were the chyldren of fooles and vylaines, which are vexed out of the worlde. 9 Now am I their songe, and am become their ieastinge stock: 10 they abhorre me, and flye farre fro me, and stayne my face with spetle. 11 For the Lord hath loosed the strength of my body, and brought me lowe. The brydle haue they cast out of my syght. 12 Upon my right hande ryse the yonge men agaynst me, they haue hurte my fete, treadinge vpon me, as vpon the wayes that they wolde destroye.
