Job 30:1-8

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

1 But now those younger than I mock me, whose fathers I refused to put beside my sheepdogs.

2 Their strength, what's it to me, their energy having perished?

3 Stiff from want and hunger, those who gnaw dry ground, yesterday's desolate waste,

4 who pluck off the leaves on a bush, the root of the broom— a shrub is their food.

5 People banish them from society, shout at them as if to a thief;

6 so they live in scary ravines, holes in the ground and rocks.

7 Among shrubs, they make sounds like donkeys; they are huddled together under a bush,

8 children of fools and the nameless, whipped out of the land.

New International Version NIV

1 “But now they mock me, men younger than I, whose fathers I would have disdained to put with my sheep dogs.

2 Of what use was the strength of their hands to me, since their vigor had gone from them?

3 Haggard from want and hunger, they roamed the parched land in desolate wastelands at night.

4 In the brush they gathered salt herbs, and their food was the root of the broom bush.

5 They were banished from human society, shouted at as if they were thieves.

6 They were forced to live in the dry stream beds, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.

7 They brayed among the bushes and huddled in the undergrowth.

8 A base and nameless brood, they were driven out of the land.
