Job 30
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
30 Nu skrattar de åt mig,
dessa som är yngre än jag,
medan jag inte hade satt deras fäder
ens bland mina vallhundar.
2 Vilken hjälp kunde
deras händer ge mig,
de som saknar all livskraft?
3 De är utmärglade av nöd och hunger,
de gnager den torra marken
som redan förut var öde
och ödslig.
4 De plockar saltörter[a] bland snåren
och ginströtter[b] är deras mat.
5 De drivs ut från gemenskapen,
man ropar efter dem som tjuvar.
6 De måste bo i otäcka raviner,
i jordhålor och bergsskrevor.
7 De skriker bland snåren,
de kryper ihop under nässlor.
8 De är uslingar och ärelösa,
utjagade ur landet.
9 (A) Nu har jag blivit deras nidvisa,
jag har blivit ett ordspråk
bland dem.
10 (B) De avskyr mig
och håller sig borta från mig,
de tvekar inte att spotta mig
i ansiktet.
11 (C) Gud har lossat min bågsträng
och plågat mig,
därför släpper de sina hämningar
inför mina ögon.
12 Vid min högra sida reser sig slöddret,
de slår undan mina fötter
och banar sig väg
för att fördärva mig.
13 De river upp min stig,
de arbetar på mitt fördärv,
men de får ingen hjälp.
14 De bryter fram
som genom en bred rämna,
de vältrar sig fram mellan ruinerna.
15 Fasor väller över mig,
min ära rycks bort som en storm
och min räddning har försvunnit
som ett moln.
16 (D) Nu utgjuter sig min själ inom mig,
och plågans dagar håller mig fast.
17 Natten borrar i mina ben,
den gnagande pinan tar ingen vila.
18 Med stor kraft griper han min mantel,
han fattar mig i min livklädnad.
19 (E) Han har vräkt mig ner i dyn,
och jag liknar stoft och aska.
20 (F) Jag ropar till dig,
men du svarar mig inte.
Jag reser mig upp,
men du bara ser på mig.
21 Du har blivit grym mot mig,
med din starka hand
ansätter du mig.
22 Du lyfter upp mig till vinden
och för mig bort,
du skakar mig i stormen.
23 (G) Jag vet att du vill föra mig till döden,
till den boning där allt levande
samlas.
24 Men räcker man inte ut handen
när man faller,
ropar man inte efter hjälp
när olyckan kommer?
25 (H) Grät jag inte över den
som hade hårda dagar,
led inte min själ med den fattige?
26 (I) Men när jag sökte det goda
kom det onda,
när jag väntade på ljus kom mörker.
27 Mitt innersta kokar och får ingen ro,
dagar av plåga har mött mig.
28 Mörk går jag omkring,
men inte av solen[c].
Jag reser mig bland folket
och ropar på hjälp.
29 (J) Jag har blivit en bror till schakalerna,
en vän till strutsarna[d].
30 Min hud svartnar och faller av mig,
mina ben brinner av hetta.
31 (K) Mitt harpspel är bytt i sorgelåt,
mitt flöjtspel i högljudd gråt.
Job 30
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Job 30
Holman Christian Standard Bible
30 But now they mock(A) me,
men younger than I am,
whose fathers I would have refused to put
with my sheep dogs.
2 What use to me was the strength of their hands?
Their vigor had left them.
3 Emaciated from poverty and hunger,
they gnawed the dry land,
the desolate wasteland by night.
4 They plucked mallow[a](B) among the shrubs,
and the roots of the broom tree were their food.
5 They were expelled from human society;
people shouted at them as if they were thieves.
6 They are living on the slopes of the wadis,
among the rocks and in holes in the ground.
7 They bray among the shrubs;
they huddle beneath the thistles.
8 Foolish(C) men, without even a name.
They were forced to leave the land.
9 Now I am mocked by their songs;(D)
I have become an object of scorn to them.
10 They despise me and keep their distance from me;(E)
they do not hesitate to spit(F) in my face.
11 Because God has loosened my[b] bowstring and oppressed me,
they have cast off restraint in my presence.(G)
12 The rabble[c] rise up at my right;
they trap[d] my feet
and construct their siege ramp[e] against me.(H)
13 They tear up my path;
they contribute to my destruction,(I)
without anyone to help them.
14 They advance as through a gaping breach;
they keep rolling in through the ruins.(J)
15 Terrors(K) are turned loose against me;
they chase my dignity away like the wind,
and my prosperity has passed by like a cloud.
16 Now my life is poured out before my eyes,
and days of suffering(L) have seized me.
17 Night pierces my bones,
but my gnawing pains never rest.(M)
18 My clothing is distorted with great force;
He chokes me by the neck of my garment.[f]
19 He throws me into the mud,
and I have become like dust and ashes.(N)
20 I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer me;(O)
when I stand up, You merely look at me.
21 You have turned against me with cruelty;
You harass(P) me with Your strong hand.
22 You lift me up on the wind and make me ride it;
You scatter me in the storm.(Q)
23 Yes, I know that You will lead me to death—
the place(R) appointed for all who live.
24 Yet no one would stretch out his hand
against a ruined man[g]
when he cries out to him for help
because of his distress.(S)
25 Have I not wept for those who have fallen on hard times?
Has my soul not grieved for the needy?(T)
26 But when I hoped for good, evil came;
when I looked for light, darkness(U) came.
27 I am churning within[h] and cannot rest;
days of suffering confront me.
28 I walk about blackened, but not by the sun.[i]
I stood in the assembly and cried out for help.
29 I have become a brother to jackals
and a companion of ostriches.
30 My skin blackens and flakes off,[j]
and my bones burn with fever.(V)
31 My lyre is used for mourning
and my flute for the sound of weeping.(W)

New International Version
30 “But now they mock me,(A)
men younger than I,
whose fathers I would have disdained
to put with my sheep dogs.(B)
2 Of what use was the strength of their hands to me,
since their vigor had gone from them?
3 Haggard from want and hunger,
they roamed[a] the parched land(C)
in desolate wastelands(D) at night.(E)
4 In the brush they gathered salt herbs,(F)
and their food[b] was the root of the broom bush.(G)
5 They were banished from human society,
shouted at as if they were thieves.
6 They were forced to live in the dry stream beds,
among the rocks and in holes in the ground.(H)
7 They brayed(I) among the bushes(J)
and huddled in the undergrowth.
8 A base and nameless brood,(K)
they were driven out of the land.(L)
9 “And now those young men mock me(M) in song;(N)
I have become a byword(O) among them.
10 They detest me(P) and keep their distance;
they do not hesitate to spit in my face.(Q)
11 Now that God has unstrung my bow(R) and afflicted me,(S)
they throw off restraint(T) in my presence.
12 On my right(U) the tribe[c] attacks;
they lay snares(V) for my feet,(W)
they build their siege ramps against me.(X)
13 They break up my road;(Y)
they succeed in destroying me.(Z)
‘No one can help him,’ they say.
14 They advance as through a gaping breach;(AA)
amid the ruins they come rolling in.
15 Terrors(AB) overwhelm me;(AC)
my dignity is driven away as by the wind,
my safety vanishes like a cloud.(AD)
16 “And now my life ebbs away;(AE)
days of suffering grip me.(AF)
17 Night pierces my bones;
my gnawing pains never rest.(AG)
18 In his great power(AH) God becomes like clothing to me[d];
he binds me like the neck of my garment.
19 He throws me into the mud,(AI)
and I am reduced to dust and ashes.(AJ)
20 “I cry out to you,(AK) God, but you do not answer;(AL)
I stand up, but you merely look at me.
21 You turn on me ruthlessly;(AM)
with the might of your hand(AN) you attack me.(AO)
22 You snatch me up and drive me before the wind;(AP)
you toss me about in the storm.(AQ)
23 I know you will bring me down to death,(AR)
to the place appointed for all the living.(AS)
24 “Surely no one lays a hand on a broken man(AT)
when he cries for help in his distress.(AU)
25 Have I not wept for those in trouble?(AV)
Has not my soul grieved for the poor?(AW)
26 Yet when I hoped for good, evil came;
when I looked for light, then came darkness.(AX)
27 The churning inside me never stops;(AY)
days of suffering confront me.(AZ)
28 I go about blackened,(BA) but not by the sun;
I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.(BB)
29 I have become a brother of jackals,(BC)
a companion of owls.(BD)
30 My skin grows black(BE) and peels;(BF)
my body burns with fever.(BG)
31 My lyre is tuned to mourning,(BH)
and my pipe(BI) to the sound of wailing.
