1¶ But nowe they †that are yonger then I, haue mee in derision, whose fathers I would haue disdained to haue set with the dogs of my flocke.
2Yea whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom olde age was perished?
3For want and famine they were ‖solitarie: flying into the wildernesse †in former time desolate and waste:
4Who cut vp mallowes by the bushes, and Iuniper rootes for their meate.
5They were driuen foorth from among men, (they cried after them, as after a thiefe.)
6To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in †caues of the earth, and in the rockes.
7Among the bushes they brayed: vnder the nettles they were gathered together.
8 They were children of fooles, yea children of †base men: they were viler then the earth.
9*And now am I their song, yea I am their by-word.
10They abhorre me, they flee farre from me, †and spare not to spit in my face.
11Because hee hath loosed my cord and afflicted me, they haue also let loose the bridle before me.
12Upon my right hand rise the youth, they push away my feete, and they raise vp against mee the wayes of their destruction.
- Job 41:1–34Rank 18 from verse 8

7Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
8Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

25When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
26The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
27He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
28The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

6Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
7Canst thou fill his skinne with barbed irons? or his head with fishspeares?
8Lay thine hand vpon him, remember the battell: doe no more.
9Behold, the hope of him is in vaine: shall not one be cast downe euen at the sight of him?
10None is so fierce that dare stirre him vp: who then is able to stand before me?
