Job 30:1-3

The Voice

30 Job: But now they mock me,
        these young men whose fathers I hold in such contempt.
    I wouldn’t trust them with my herds
        as I do my dogs.
²     What good does their strength do me?
        Their potency has wilted.
³     Gaunt from starvation, haggard from hunger that drives them to gnaw the ground in the night,
        a ground all wasted and hollowed-out,
