BUT now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014044">2</a>. Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014045">3</a>. For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014046">4</a>. Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014047">5</a>. They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014048">6</a>. To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014049">7</a>. Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014050">8</a>. They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014051">9</a>. And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014052">10</a>. They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014053">11</a>. Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014054">12</a>. Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014055">13</a>. They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014056">14</a>. They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014057">15</a>. Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014058">16</a>. And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014059">17</a>. My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014060">18</a>. By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014061">19</a>. He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014062">20</a>. I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014063">21</a>. Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014064">22</a>. Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014065">23</a>. For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014066">24</a>. Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014067">25</a>. Did not I weep for him that was in trouble?  was not my soul grieved for the poor?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014068">26</a>. When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014069">27</a>. My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014070">28</a>. I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014071">29</a>. I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014072">30</a>. My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014073">31</a>. My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.</li>
