Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 30:1 | But now the younger ones laugh at me; those whose fathers I would have refused to set with the dogs of my flock. |
| 30:2 | Also, what profit for me was the strength of their hands; for full vigor had perished from them? |
| 30:3 | They are lifeless with want and hunger, those who gnaw the dry ground which was formerly waste and desolation; |
| 30:4 | those plucking mallow by the bushes, and broom roots for their food; |
| 30:5 | they are driven from the midst; they shouted against them as a thief; |
| 30:6 | they dwell in the chasms of the torrents, in the holes of the earth, and in rocks. |
| 30:7 | They bray among the bushes; they huddle together under the nettles; |
| 30:8 | sons of fools; yea, sons without a name; they have been whipped out of the land. |
| 30:9 | And now I am their song; yea, I am their byword. |
| 30:10 | They despise me, and they keep away from me; they do not spare spit from my face; |
| 30:11 | Because He has loosed His bowstring and afflicted me, they also have thrown off the bridle in my presence. |
| 30:12 | On my right hand a brood rises; they push away my feet and raise their destructive ways against me. |
| 30:13 | They have broken down my path; they profit by my ruin; they have no helper. |
| 30:14 | They come on, as through a break; they roll on under ruin. |
| 30:15 | Terrors are turned on me; they pursue my soul like the wind, and my goods pass away like a cloud. |
| 30:16 | And now my soul is poured out within me; days of affliction have seized me. |
| 30:17 | The night pierces my bones on me, and my gnawings never lie down. |
| 30:18 | By the great force of my disease my garment is disfigured; it chokes me like the mouth of my coat. |
| 30:19 | He has cast me into the mire; and I have become like dust and ashes. |
| 30:20 | I cried to You, but You did not answer me. I stood up, and You looked at me. |
| 30:21 | You changed to be cruel to me; You assault me with the might of Your hand; |
| 30:22 | You lift me up to the wind; You cause me to ride on it ; and You melt me in a storm. |
| 30:23 | For I know that You will bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living. |
| 30:24 | Surely He will not stretch out His hand to the ruin heap; behold, they cry for help in their misfortune. |
| 30:25 | Did I not weep for him whose day is hard; and my soul grieved for the poor? |
| 30:26 | When I looked for good, then evil came; and when I waited for light, then darkness came. |
| 30:27 | My bowels have boiled, and not rested; the days of affliction confront me. |
| 30:28 | I go in mourning with no sun; I stood up in the assembly, and I cried out. |
| 30:29 | I am a brother to jackals, and a companion to daughters of the ostrich. |
| 30:30 | My skin is blackened on me, and my bones are burned with heat. |
| 30:31 | And my lyre has turned to mourning, and My flute vibrates to the sound of weeping. |
