Job 30:1-3

International Standard Version

30 “But now they mock me;
    men who are far younger than I,
whose fathers I would have hated
    to entrust with my own sheep dogs.
² Furthermore, what could I have gained
    from men whose strength is gone?
³ Unproductive due to poverty^[a] and hunger,
    they could only scratch in parched soil,
        devastated and desolated.
