New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Job 29
25 "I chose a way for them and sat as chief, And dwelt as a king among the troops, As one who comforted the mourners.
Job 30
1 "But now those younger than I mock me, Whose fathers I disdained 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 want and famine they are gaunt Who gnaw the dry ground by night in waste and desolation,
4 Who pluck mallow 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,
6 So that they dwell in dreadful valleys, In holes of the earth and of the rocks.
7 "Among the bushes they cry out; Under the nettles they are gathered together.
8 "Fools, even those without a name, They were scourged from the land.
9 "And now I have become their taunt, I have even become a byword to them.
10 "They abhor me and stand aloof from me, And they do not refrain from spitting at my face.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
