Job 30:9-11

The Voice

Even the fools and outcasts use Job’s name as an insult. His character has been brought low by those who should be beneath him.

⁹    And now they sing of me in taunt and parody,
        and make my name a byword among them.
¹⁰    They abhor me, keep their distance,
        and feel free to spit in my face.
¹¹    Because God has unstrung His bowstring and stricken me with suffering,
        they are no longer restrained toward me.
