Old Testament

New Testament

Job 30:4-12 Modern English Version (MEV)

4. Who pluck mallow by the bushes,and juniper roots for their food.

5. They were driven out from among men;they shout after them as after a thief.

6. They had to dwell in the rocky riverbeds,in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.

7. Among the bushes they brayed;under the nettles they were gathered together.

8. They were children of fools, yes, children of vile men;they were scourged from the earth.

9. “Now I am their taunting song;yes, I am their byword.

10. They abhor me, they flee far from me;they do not hesitate to spit in my face.

11. Because He has loosed my bowstring and afflicted me,they have cast off the bridle before me.

12. At my right hand their brood arises;they push away my feet,and they raise against me their ways of destruction.
