Job 30 (ASV Interlinear Bible)

1But now they that are younger than I have me in derision,

Whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.

5They are driven forth from the midst of men;

They cry after them as after a thief;

6So that they dwell in frightful valleys,

In holes of the earth and of the rocks.

It bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.

And I am become like dust and ashes.

20I cry unto thee, and thou dost not answer me:

I stand up, and thou gazest at me.

21Thou art turned to be cruel to me;

With the might of thy hand thou persecutest me.

22Thou liftest me up to the wind, thou causest me to ride upon it;

And thou dissolvest me in the storm.

Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?

25Did not I weep for him that was in trouble?

Was not my soul grieved for the needy?

26When I looked for good, then evil came;

And when I waited for light, there came darkness.

And my bones are burned with heat.

31Therefore is my harp turned to mourning,

And my pipe into the voice of them that weep.
