Job 30:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 Yet now they sing of me in mockery;
I have become a byword among them.(A)
10 They abhor me, they stand aloof,
they do not hesitate to spit in my face!
11 [a]Because he has loosened my bowstring and afflicted me,
they have thrown off restraint in my presence.
