1. Young people now insult me,although their fatherswould have been a disgraceto my sheep dogs.
2. And those who insult meare helpless themselves.
3. They must claw the desert sandin the dark for somethingto satisfy their hunger.
4. They gather tasteless shrubsfor food and firewood,
5. and they are driven out of towns,as though they were thieves.
6. Their only homes are ditchesor holes between rocks,
7. where they bray like donkeysgathering around shrubs.
8. And like senseless donkeysthey are chased away.
9. Those worthless nobodiesmake up jokes and songsto disgrace me.
