Job 30:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷where they bray like donkeys
gathering around shrubs.
⁸And like senseless donkeys
they are chased away.

⁹Those worthless nobodies
make up jokes and songs
to disgrace me.

Job 30:7-9

New International Version

⁷They brayed^(A) among the bushes^(B)
and huddled in the undergrowth.
⁸A base and nameless brood,^(C)
they were driven out of the land.^(D)

⁹“And now those young men mock me^(E) in song;^(F)
I have become a byword^(G) among them.

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

⁸They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.

⁹And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
