30But 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.H6810H3117H7832H1H3988H7896H3611H66292Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?H4100H3581H3027H3624H63For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.H2639H3720H1565H6207H6723H570H7722H48754Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.H6998H4408H7880H7574H8328H38995They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)H1644H1460H7321H15906To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.H7931H6178H5158H2356H6083H37107Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.H7880H5101H2738H55968They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.H1121H5036H1121H8034H5217H7769And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.H5058H440510They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.H8581H7368H2820H7536H644011Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.H6605H3499H6031H7971H7448H644012Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.H3225H6965H6526H7971H7272H5549H734H34313They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.H5420H5410H3276H1942H1962H582614They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.H857H7342H6556H8478H7722H155615Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.H1091H2015H7291H5082H7307H3444H5674H564516And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.H5315H8210H3117H6040H27017My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.H6106H5365H3915H6207H790118By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.H7230H3581H3830H2664H247H6310H380119He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.H3384H2563H4911H6083H66520I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.H7768H6030H5975H99521Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.H2015H393H6108H3027H785222Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.H5375H7307H7392H4127H8454H773823For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.H3045H7725H4194H1004H4150H241624Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.H7971H3027H1164H7769H636525Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?H1058H7186H3117H5315H5701H3426When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.H6960H2896H7451H935H3176H216H935H65227My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.H4578H7570H1826H3117H6040H692328I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.H1980H6937H2535H6965H7768H695129I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.H251H8577H7453H1323H328430My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.H5785H7835H6106H2787H272131My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.H3658H60H5748H6963H1058

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
