The Latin Vulgate VUL
New International Version NIV
1 nunc autem derident me iuniores tempore quorum non dignabar patres ponere cum canibus gregis mei
1
“But now they mock me, men younger than I, whose fathers I would have disdained to put with my sheep dogs.
2 quorum virtus manuum erat mihi pro nihilo et vita ipsa putabantur indigni
2
Of what use was the strength of their hands to me, since their vigor had gone from them?
3 egestate et fame steriles qui rodebant in solitudine squalentes calamitate et miseria
3
Haggard from want and hunger, they roamed the parched land in desolate wastelands at night.
4 et mandebant herbas et arborum cortices et radix iuniperorum erat cibus eorum
4
In the brush they gathered salt herbs, and their food was the root of the broom bush.
5 qui de convallibus ista rapientes cum singula repperissent ad ea cum clamore currebant
5
They were banished from human society, shouted at as if they were thieves.
6 in desertis habitabant torrentium et in cavernis terrae vel super glaream
6
They were forced to live in the dry stream beds, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.
7 qui inter huiuscemodi laetabantur et esse sub sentibus delicias conputabant
7
They brayed among the bushes and huddled in the undergrowth.
