Chapter 30 But now they that are younger
than I have me in derision, whose fathers

00:05.820 --> 00:08.900
I would have disdained to have set with
the dogs of my flock.

00:09.980 --> 00:14.580
Yea, whereto might the strength of their
hands profit me in whom old age was

00:14.580 --> 00:15.160
perished?

00:15.900 --> 00:21.100
For want and famine they were solitary,
fleeing into the wilderness in former time

00:21.100 --> 00:26.540
desolate and waste, who cut up mallows by
the bushes and juniper roots for their

00:26.540 --> 00:26.880
meat.

00:26.880 --> 00:29.500
They were driven forth from among men.

00:30.100 --> 00:34.040
They cried after them as after a thief,
to dwell in the cliffs of the valleys,

00:34.480 --> 00:36.480
in caves of the earth and in the rocks.

00:37.480 --> 00:41.160
Among the bushes they brayed, under the
nettles they were gathered together.

00:41.820 --> 00:45.380
They were children of fools, yea,
children of base men.

00:45.820 --> 00:47.440
They were viler than the earth.

00:48.040 --> 00:51.900
And now am I their song, yea, I am their
byword.

00:51.900 --> 00:56.960
They abhor me, they flee far from me,
and spare not to spit in my face.

00:58.100 --> 01:02.540
Because he hath loosed my cord and
afflicted me, they have also let loose the

01:02.540 --> 01:03.480
bridle before me.

01:04.520 --> 01:06.520
Upon my right hand rise the youth.

01:07.400 --> 01:11.360
They push away my feet, and they raise up
against me the ways of their destruction.

01:12.180 --> 01:16.120
They mar my path, they set forward my
calamity, they have no helper.

01:17.020 --> 01:20.240
They came upon me as a wide breaking inn
of waters.

01:20.240 --> 01:23.120
In the desolation they rolled themselves
upon me.

01:23.660 --> 01:28.440
Terrors are turned upon me, they pursue my
soul as the wind, and my welfare passeth

01:28.440 --> 01:29.580
away as a cloud.

01:30.460 --> 01:32.880
And now my soul is poured out upon me.

01:33.460 --> 01:35.960
The days of affliction have taken hold
upon me.

01:36.840 --> 01:42.000
My bones are pierced in me in the night
season, and my sinews take no rest.

01:42.880 --> 01:46.080
By the great force of my disease is my
garment changed.

01:46.080 --> 01:49.580
It bindeth me about as the collar of my
coat.

01:50.120 --> 01:54.220
He hath cast me into the mire,
and I am become like dust and ashes.

01:54.700 --> 01:57.000
I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear
me.

01:57.140 --> 01:59.300
I stand up, and thou regardest me not.

02:00.040 --> 02:01.480
Thou art become cruel to me.

02:02.140 --> 02:05.440
With thy strong hand thou opposest thyself
against me.

02:06.320 --> 02:07.760
Thou liftest me up to the wind.

02:08.080 --> 02:10.800
Thou causest me to ride upon it,
and dissolvest my substance.

02:10.800 --> 02:17.680
For I know that thou wilt bring me to
death, and to the house appointed for all

02:17.680 --> 02:18.000
living.

02:19.060 --> 02:23.220
Howbeit, he will not stretch out his hand
to the grave, though they cry in his

02:23.220 --> 02:23.720
destruction.

02:24.400 --> 02:26.440
Did not I weep for him that was in
trouble?

02:26.980 --> 02:29.100
Was not my soul grieved for the poor?

02:29.500 --> 02:32.480
When I looked for good, then evil came
unto me.

02:33.160 --> 02:35.900
And when I waited for light, there came
darkness.

02:36.680 --> 02:39.060
My bowels boiled and rested not.

02:39.360 --> 02:41.760
The days of affliction prevented me.

02:42.040 --> 02:43.640
I went mourning without the sun.

02:43.860 --> 02:45.940
I stood up, and I cried in the
congregation.

02:46.660 --> 02:50.660
I am a brother to dragons, and a companion
to owls.

02:51.260 --> 02:56.280
My skin is black upon me, and my bones are
burned with heat.

02:57.120 --> 03:02.860
My harp also is turned to mourning,
and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
