World English Bible Classic
[1] “But now those who are younger than I have me in derision,
whose fathers I considered unworthy to put with my sheep dogs.
[2] Of what use is the strength of their hands to me,
men in whom ripe age has perished?
[3] They are gaunt from lack and famine.
They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of waste and desolation.
[4] They pluck salt herbs by the bushes.
The roots of the broom tree are their food.
[5] They are driven out from among men.
They cry after them as after a thief,
[6] so that they live in frightful valleys,
and in holes of the earth and of the rocks.
[7] They bray among the bushes.
They are gathered together under the nettles.
[8] They are children of fools, yes, children of wicked men.
They were flogged out of the land. [9] “Now I have become their song.
Yes, I am a byword to them.
[10] They abhor me, they stand aloof from me,
and don’t hesitate to spit in my face.
[11] For he has untied his cord, and afflicted me;
and they have thrown off restraint before me.
[12] On my right hand rise the rabble.
They thrust aside my feet.
They cast their ways of destruction up against me.
[13] They mar my path.
They promote my destruction
without anyone’s help.
[14] As through a wide breach they come.
They roll themselves in amid the ruin.
[15] Terrors have turned on me.
They chase my honor as the wind.
My welfare has passed away as a cloud. [16] “Now my soul is poured out within me.
Days of affliction have taken hold of me.
[17] In the night season my bones are pierced in me,
and the pains that gnaw me take no rest.
[18] My garment is disfigured by great force.
It binds me about as the collar of my tunic.
[19] He has cast me into the mire.
I have become like dust and ashes.
[20] I cry to you, and you do not answer me.
I stand up, and you gaze at me.
[21] You have turned to be cruel to me.
With the might of your hand you persecute me.
[22] You lift me up to the wind, and drive me with it.
You dissolve me in the storm.
[23] For I know that you will bring me to death,
to the house appointed for all living. [24] “However doesn’t one stretch out a hand in his fall?
Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?
[25] Didn’t I weep for him who was in trouble?
Wasn’t my soul grieved for the needy?
[26] When I looked for good, then evil came.
When I waited for light, darkness came.
[27] My heart is troubled, and doesn’t rest.
Days of affliction have come on me.
[28] I go mourning without the sun.
I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.
[29] I am a brother to jackals,
and a companion to ostriches.
[30] My skin grows black and peels from me.
My bones are burned with heat.
[31] Therefore my harp has turned to mourning,
and my pipe into the voice of those who weep.
King James Version
[1] But now they that are younger H6810 H3117 than I§ have me in derision, H7832
Whose H834 fathers H1 I would have disdained H3988 to have set H7896 with H5973 the dogs H3611 of my flock. H6629
[2] Yea, whereto H4100 might the strength H3581 of their hands H3027 profit me,
In whom old age H3624 was perished? H6
[3] For want H2639 and famine H3720 they were solitary; H1565§
Fleeing H6207 into the wilderness H6723 in former time H570§ desolate H7722 and waste. H4875
[4] Who cut up H6998 mallows H4408 by the bushes, H7880
And juniper H7574 roots H8328 for their meat. H3899
[5] They were driven forth H1644 from H4480 among H1460 men,
(They cried H7321 after them as after a thief;) H1590
[6] To dwell H7931 in the cliffs H6178 of the valleys, H5158
in caves H2356§ of the earth, H6083 and in the rocks. H3710
[7] Among the bushes H7880 they brayed; H5101
Under the nettles H2738 they were gathered together. H5596
[8] They were children H1121 of fools, H5036 yea, children H1121 of base men: H8034§
They were viler H5217 than the earth. H776
[9] And now am I their song, H5058
Yea, I am their byword. H4405
[10] They abhor H8581 me, they flee far H7368 from H4480 me,
And spare H2820 not H3808 to spit H7536 in my face. H6440§
[11] Because H3588 he hath loosed H6605 my cord, H3499 and afflicted H6031 me,
They have also let loose H7971 the bridle H7448 before H6440 me.
[12] Upon my right H3225 hand rise H6965 the youth; H6526
They push away H7971 my feet, H7272
And they raise up H5549 against H5921 me the ways H734 of their destruction. H343
[13] They mar H5420 my path, H5410
They set forward H3276 my calamity, H1942
H1962 They have no helper. H5826
[14] They came H857 upon me as a wide H7342 breaking H6556 in of waters:
In H8478 the desolation H7722 they rolled H1556 themselves upon me.
[15] Terrors H1091 are turned H2015 upon H5921 me:
They pursue H7291 my soul H5082§ as the wind: H7307
And my welfare H3444 passeth away H5674 as a cloud. H5645
[16] And now my soul H5315 is poured out H8210 upon H5921 me;
The days H3117 of affliction H6040 have taken hold H270 upon me.
[17] My bones H6106 are pierced H5365 in me in the night season: H3915
And my sinews H6207 take no rest. H7901
[18] By the great H7230 force H3581 of my disease is my garment H3830 changed: H2664
It bindeth me about H247 as the collar H6310 of my coat. H3801
[19] He hath cast H3384 me into the mire, H2563
And I am become like H4911 dust H6083 and ashes. H665
[20] I cry H7768 unto H413 thee, and thou dost not hear H6030 me:
I stand up, H5975 and thou regardest H995 me not.
[21] Thou art become H2015 cruel H393§ to me:
With thy strong H6108 hand H3027§ thou opposest H7852 thyself against me.
[22] Thou liftest me up H5375 to the wind; H7307 thou causest me to ride H7392 upon it,
And dissolvest H4127 my substance. H8454§ H7738
[23] For I know H3045 that thou wilt bring H7725 me to death, H4194
And to the house H1004 appointed H4150 for all living. H2416
[24] Howbeit he will not stretch out H7971 his hand H3027 to the grave, H1164§
Though they cry H7769 in his destruction. H6365
[25] Did not H3808 I weep H1058 for him that was in trouble? H7186§
H3117 Was not my soul H5315 grieved H5701 for the poor? H34
[26] When I looked H6960 for good, H2896 then evil H7451 came H935 unto me:
And when I waited H3176 for light, H216 there came H935 darkness. H652
[27] My bowels H4578 boiled, H7570 and rested H1826 not:
The days H3117 of affliction H6040 prevented H6923 me.
[28] I went H1980 mourning H6937 without the sun: H2535
I stood up, H6965 and I cried H7768 in the congregation. H6951
[29] I am a brother H251 to dragons, H8577
And a companion H7453 to owls. H1323§ H3284
[30] My skin H5785 is black H7835 upon H5921 me,
And my bones H6106 are burned H2787 with heat. H2721
[31] My harp H3658 also is turned to mourning, H60
And my organ H5748 into the voice H6963 of them that weep. H1058

G4432 [28] Στένων πεπόρευμαι G4198 ἄνευ G427 φιμοῦ, ἕστηκα G2476 δὲ G1161 ἐν G1722 ἐκκλησίᾳ G1577 κεκραγώς. G2896 [29] Ἀδελφὸς G80 γέγονα G1096 σειρήνων, ἑταῖρος G2083 δὲ G1161 στρουθῶν. [30] Τὸ G3588 δὲ G1161 δέρμα G1192 μου G3450 ἐσκότωται G4656 μεγάλως, G3171 τὰ G3588 δὲ G1161 ὀστᾶ G3747 μου G3450 ἀπὸ G575 καύματος. G2738 [31] Ἀπέβη G576 δὲ G1161 εἰς G1519 πάθος G3806 μου G3450 ἡ G3588 κιθάρα, G2788 ὁ G3588 δὲ G1161 ψαλμός G5568 μου G3450 εἰς G1519 κλαυθμὸν G2805 ἐμοί. G1698
