International Children’s Bible

Job 30:1-9 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. “But now men who are younger than I make fun of me.I would not have even let their fatherssit with my sheep dogs.

2. Their hands had no strength to help me.They had even lost their strength to work.

3. They were thin from being hungry and in need.They wandered through the dry and ruined land at night.

4. They gathered desert plants by the brush for food.They even ate the root of the broom tree.

5. They were forced to live away from other people.People shouted at them as if they were thieves.

6. These young men had to live in dried up streambeds.They lived in caves and among the rocks.

7. They howled like animals out among the bushes.And they huddled together in the brush.

8. They are worthless people without names.They were forced to leave the land.

9. “Now they make fun of me with songs.My name has become a joke among them.
