But now [they that are] younger 6810 3117 than I have me in derision, 7832-1 whose fathers 1 I would have disdained 3988-1 to have set 7896-2 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? 6-1 |
| 3 |
For want 2639 and famine 3720 [they were] solitary; 1565 fleeing 6207-6 into the wilderness 6723 in former time 570 desolate 7722 and waste. 4875 |
| 4 |
Who cut up 6998-5 mallows 4408 by the bushes, 7880 and juniper 7574 roots 8328 [for] their meat. 3899 |
| 5 |
They were driven forth 1644-29 from among 1460 [men], (they cried 7321-55 after them as [after] a thief;) 1590 |
| 6 |
To dwell 7931-2 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; 5101-4 under the nettles 2738 they were gathered together. 5596-29 |
| 8 |
[They were] children 1121 of fools, 5036 yea, children 1121 of base men: 8034 they were viler 5217-8 than the earth. 776 |
| 9 |
And now am I their song, 5058 yea, I am their byword. 4405 |
| 10 |
They abhor 8581-14 me, they flee far 7368-1 from me, and spare 2820-1 not to spit 7536 in my face. 6440 |
| 11 |
Because he hath loosed 6605-14 my cord, 3499 and afflicted 6031-17 me, they have also let loose 7971-14 the bridle 7448 before 6440 me. |
| 12 |
Upon [my] right 3225 [hand] rise 6965-4 the youth; 6526 they push away 7971-14 my feet, 7272 and they raise up 5549-4 against me the ways 734 of their destruction. 343 |
| 13 |
They mar 5420-1 my path, 5410 they set forward 3276-55 my calamity, 1942|1962-k they have no helper. 5826-6 |
| 14 |
They came 857-4 [upon me] as a wide 7342 breaking in 6556 [of waters]: in 8478 the desolation 7722 they rolled 1556-115 themselves [upon me]. |
| 15 |
Terrors 1091 are turned 2015-90 upon me: they pursue 7291-4 my soul 5082 as the wind: 7307 and my welfare 3444 passeth away 5674-1 as a cloud. 5645 |
| 16 |
And now my soul 5315 is poured out 8210-101 upon me; the days 3117 of affliction 6040 have taken hold upon me. 270-4 |
| 17 |
My bones 6106 are pierced 5365-14 in me in the night season: 3915 and my sinews 6207-6 take no rest. 7901-4 |
| 18 |
By the great 7230 force 3581 [of my disease] is my garment 3830 changed: 2664-101 it bindeth me about 247-4 as the collar 6310 of my coat. 3801 |
| 19 |
He hath cast 3384-52 me into the mire, 2563 and I am become like 4911-101 dust 6083 and ashes. 665 |
| 20 |
I cry 7768-17 unto thee, and thou dost not hear 6030-4 me: I stand up, 5975-1 and thou regardest 995-113 me [not]. |
| 21 |
Thou art become 2015-11 cruel 393 to me: with thy strong 6108 hand 3027 thou opposest 7852-4 thyself against me. |
| 22 |
Thou liftest me up 5375-4 to the wind; 7307 thou causest me to ride 7392-55 [upon it], and dissolvest 4127-34 my substance. 8454|7738-17-k |
| 23 |
For I know 3045-1 [that] thou wilt bring 7725-55 me [to] death, 4194 and [to] the house 1004 appointed 4150 for all living. 2416 |
| 24 |
Howbeit he will not stretch out 7971-4 [his] hand 3027 to the grave, 1164 though they cry 7769 in his destruction. 6365 |
| 25 |
Did not I weep 1058-1 for him that was in trouble? 7186 3117 was [not] my soul 5315 grieved 5701-1 for the poor? 34 |
| 26 |
When I looked 6960-14 for good, 2896 then evil 7451 came 935-4 [unto me]: and when I waited 3176-17 for light, 216 there came 935-4 darkness. 652 |
| 27 |
My bowels 4578 boiled, 7570-27 and rested 1826-1 not: the days 3117 of affliction 6040 prevented 6923-14 me. |
| 28 |
I went 1980-14 mourning 6937-6 without the sun: 2535 I stood up, 6965-1 [and] I cried 7768-17 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 7835-1 upon me, and my bones 6106 are burned 2787-1 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. 1058-6 |
