1 But now they that are younger 6810 3117 than I have me in derision 7832, whose fathers 1 I would have disdained 3988 to have set 7896 with the dogs 3611 of my flock 6629.
2 Yea, whereto 4100 might the strength 3581 of their hands 3027 profit me, in whom old age 3624 was perished 6?
3 For want 2639 and famine 3720 they were solitary 1565; fleeing 6207 into the wilderness 6723 in former time 570 desolate 7722 and waste 4875.
4 Who cut up 6998 mallows 4408 by the bushes 7880, and juniper 7574 roots 8328 for their meat 3899.
5 They were driven forth 1644 from among 1460 men, (they cried 7321 after them as after a thief 1590;)
6 To dwell 7931 in the clifts 6178 of the valleys 5158, in caves 2356 of the earth 6083, and in the rocks 3710.
7 Among the bushes 7880 they brayed 5101; under the nettles 2738 they were gathered together 5596.
8 They were children 1121 of fools 5036, yea, children 1121 of base men 8034: they were viler 5217 than the earth 776.
9 And now am I their song 5058, yea, I am their byword 4405.
10 They abhor 8581 me, they flee far 7368 from me, and spare 2820 not to spit 7536 in my face 6440.
11 Because he hath loosed 6605 my cord 3499, and afflicted 6031 me, they have also let loose 7971 the bridle 7448 before 6440 me.
12 Upon my right 3225 hand rise 6965 the youth 6526; they push away 7971 my feet 7272, and they raise up 5549 against me the ways 734 of their destruction 343.
13 They mar 5420 my path 5410, they set forward 3276 my calamity 1942 1962, they have no helper 5826.
14 They came 857 upon me as a wide 7342 breaking 6556 in of waters: in 8478 the desolation 7722 they rolled 1556 themselves upon me.
15 Terrors 1091 are turned 2015 upon me: they pursue 7291 my soul 5082 as the wind 7307: and my welfare 3444 passeth away 5674 as a cloud 5645.
16 And now my soul 5315 is poured out 8210 upon me; the days 3117 of affliction 6040 have taken hold 270 upon me.
17 My bones 6106 are pierced 5365 in me in the night season 3915: and my sinews 6207 take no rest 7901.
18 By the great 7230 force 3581 of my disease is my garment 3830 changed 2664: it bindeth me about 247 as the collar 6310 of my coat 3801.
19 He hath cast 3384 me into the mire 2563, and I am become like 4911 dust 6083 and ashes 665.
20 I cry 7768 unto thee, and thou dost not hear 6030 me: I stand up 5975, and thou regardest 995 me not.
21 Thou art become 2015 cruel 393 to me: with thy strong 6108 hand 3027 thou opposest 7852 thyself against me.
22 Thou liftest me up 5375 to the wind 7307; thou causest me to ride 7392 upon it, and dissolvest 4127 my substance 8454 7738.
23 For I know 3045 that thou wilt bring 7725 me to death 4194, and to the house 1004 appointed 4150 for all living 2416.
24 Howbeit he will not stretch out 7971 his hand 3027 to the grave 1164, though they cry 7769 in his destruction 6365.
25 Did not I weep 1058 for him that was in trouble 7186 3117? was not my soul 5315 grieved 5701 for the poor 34?
26 When I looked 6960 for good 2896, then evil 7451 came 935 unto me: and when I waited 3176 for light 216, there came 935 darkness 652.
27 My bowels 4578 boiled 7570, and rested 1826 not: the days 3117 of affliction 6040 prevented 6923 me.
28 I went 1980 mourning 6937 without the sun 2535: I stood up 6965, and I cried 7768 in the congregation 6951.
29 I am a brother 251 to dragons 8577, and a companion 7453 to owls 1323 3284.
30 My skin 5785 is black 7835 upon me, and my bones 6106 are burned 2787 with heat 2721.
31 My harp 3658 also is turned to mourning 60, and my organ 5748 into the voice 6963 of them that weep 1058.
