- 2Yea, whereto [supplied: should] the strength of their hands [supplied: profit] me, [supplied: men] in whom vigour hath perished?
- 3Withered up through want and hunger, they flee into waste places long since desolate and desert:
- 4They gather the salt-wort among the bushes, and the roots of the broom for their food.
- 5They are driven forth from among [supplied: men] -- they cry after them as after a thief --
- 6To dwell in gloomy gorges, in caves of the earth and the rocks:
- 7They bray among the bushes; under the brambles they are gathered together:
- 8Sons of fools, and sons of nameless sires, they are driven out of the land.
- 9And now I am their song, yea, I am their byword.
- 10They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, yea, they spare not to spit in my face.
- 11For he hath loosed my cord and afflicted me; so they cast off the bridle before me.
- 12At [supplied: my] right hand rise the young brood; they push away my feet, and raise up against me their pernicious ways;
- 13They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, without any to help them;
- 14They come in as through a wide breach: amid the confusion they roll themselves onward.
- 15Terrors are turned against me; they pursue mine honour as the wind; and my welfare is passed away like a cloud.
- 16And now my soul is poured out in me; days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
- 17The night pierceth through my bones [supplied: and detacheth them] from me, and my gnawing pains take no rest:
- 18By their great force they have become my raiment; they bind me about as the collar of my coat.
- 19He hath cast me into the mire, and I have become like dust and ashes.
- 20I cry unto thee, and thou answerest me not; I stand up, and thou lookest at me.
- 21Thou art changed to a cruel one to me; with the strength of thy hand thou pursuest me.

- 22Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to be borne away, and dissolvest my substance.
- 23For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and into the house of assemblage for all living.
- 24Indeed, no prayer [supplied: availeth] when he stretcheth out [supplied: his] hand: though they cry when he destroyeth.
- 25Did not I weep for him whose days were hard? was not my soul grieved for the needy?
- 26For I expected good, and there came evil; and I waited for light, but there came darkness.
- 27My bowels well up, and rest not; days of affliction have confronted me.
- 28I go about blackened, but not by the sun; I stand up, I cry in the congregation.
- 29I am become a brother to jackals, and a companion of ostriches.
- 30My skin is become black [supplied: and falleth] off me, and my bones are parched with heat.
- 31My harp also is [supplied: turned] to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of weepers.
