Job’s Present State Is Humiliating

1“But now those who are younger than I mock me,
Whose fathers I refused to put with the dogs of my flock.
2“Indeed, what good was the strength of their hands to me?
Vigor had perished from them.
3“From poverty and famine they are gaunt,
They who gnaw at the dry ground by night in waste and desolation,
4Who pluck saltweed by the bushes,
And whose food is the root of the broom shrub.
5“They are driven from the community;
They shout against them as against a thief,
6So that they live on the slopes of ravines,
In holes in the ground and among the rocks.
7“Among the bushes they cry out;
Under the weeds they are gathered together.
8“Worthless fellows, even those without a name,
They were cast out from the land.
