1 But nowe they that are younger then I haue me in derision: yea euen they whose fathers I would haue thought scorne to haue set with the dogges of my cattell.

2 For wherto might the strength of their handes haue serued me? for the time was but lost among them.

3 For very miserie and hunger they fled into the wildernesse, a darke place, horrible and waste,

4 Plucking vp nettles among the busshes, and the iuniper rootes for their meate.

5 And when they were dryuen foorth, men cryed after them as it had ben afafter a thiefe.

6 Their dwelling was in the cleftes of brookes, yea in the caues and dennes of the earth.

7 Among the busshes went they about crying, and vnder the thornes they gathered them selues together.
