CHAP. XXX.
1 Iobs honour is turned into extreme contempt.
15 His prosperitie into calamitie.
1
But nowe they note that are
yonger then I, haue mee
in derision, whose fathers
I would haue disdained
to haue set with the dogs
of my flocke.
Iobs former prosperitie, and present miserie.
2
Yea whereto might the strength
of their hands profit me, in whom olde
age was perished?
3
For want and famine they were
note solitarie: flying into the wildernesse
note in former time desolate and waste:
4
Who cut vp mallowes by the
bushes, and Iuniper rootes for their
meate.
5
They were driuen foorth from among
men, (they cried after them, as after
a thiefe.)
6
To dwell in the clifts of the valleys,
in note caues of the earth, and in the
rockes.
7
Among the bushes they brayed:
vnder the nettles they were gathered
together.
8
They were children of fooles, yea
children of note base men: they were viler
then the earth.
9
noteAnd now am I their song, yea
I am their by-word.
10
They abhorre me, they flee farre
from me, note and spare not to spit in my
face.
11
Because hee hath loosed my cord
and afflicted me, they haue also let loose
the bridle before me.
12
Upon my right hand rise the youth,
they push away my feete, and they raise
vp against mee the wayes of their destruction.
13
They marre my path, they set
forward my calamitie, they haue no
helper.
14
They came vpon me as a wide breaking
in of waters: in the desolation they
rolled themselues vpon me.
15
Terrours are turned vpon mee:
they pursue note my soule as the wind: and
my welfare passeth away as a cloude.
16
And now my soule is powred out
vpon me: the dayes of affliction haue
taken hold vpon me.
17
My bones are pierced in mee in
the night season: and my sinewes take
no rest.
18
By the great force of my disease, is
my garment changed: it bindeth mee
about as the collar of my coat.
19
He hath cast mee into the myre,
and I am become like dust and ashes.
20
I crie vnto thee, and thou doest
not heare me: I stand vp, and thou regardest
me not.
21
Thou art note become cruell to me:
with note thy strong hand thou opposest
thy selfe against me.
-- --
Iob professeth his integritie.
22
Thou liftest me vp to the wind:
thou causest me to ride vpon it, and dissoluest
my note substance.
23
For I know that thou wilt bring
me to death, and to the house appointed
for all liuing.
24
Howbeit he will not stretch out
his hand to the note graue, though they cry
in his destruction.
25
noteDid not I weepe note for him that
was in trouble? was not my soule grieued
for the poore?
26
When I looked for good, then
euill came vnto mee: and when I waited
for light, there came darkenes.
27
My bowels boyled and rested
not: the dayes of affliction preuented
mee.
28
I went mourning without the
Sunne: I stood vp, and I cried in the
Congregation.
29
noteI am a brother to dragons, and
a companion to note owles.
30
My skinne is blacke vpon mee,
and my bones are burnt with heat.
31
My harpe also is turned to mourning,
and my organe into the voyce of
them that weepe.
