great calamity.
30:1. But now the younger in time scorn me, whose fathers I would not

down on me.

earth, or upon the gravel.

upon the earth.

as with waves.

and they have prevailed, and there was none to help.
30:14. They have rushed in upon me, as when a wall is broken, and a gate
opened, and have rolled themselves down to my miseries.
30:15. I am brought to nothing: as a wind thou hast taken away my
desire: and my prosperity hath passed away like a cloud.

possess me.
