1 But now they that are younger than I have me in derision,whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
2 Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me,in whom old age was perished?
3 For want and famine they were solitary;fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste:
4 who cut up mallows by the bushes,and juniper roots for their meat.
5 They were driven forth from among men,(they cried after them as after a thief,)
6 to dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
