1 But now they mock me, those who are younger than I, whose fathers I disdained too much to put with my sheep dogs.

2 Moreover, the strength of their hands--what use was it to me? Men whose strength had perished;

3 gaunt with want and hunger, they would gnaw the parched land, in former time desolate and waste.

4 By the brush they would gather herbs from the salt marshes, and the root of the broom tree was their food.
