Bible in Basic English
"The lines of his men of war put themselves in order, and make high their ways of destruction against me:"
— Job 30:12, Bible in Basic English
“Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.”
And now I have become their song, and I am a word of shame to them.
I am disgusting to them; they keep away from me, and put marks of shame on me.
For he has made loose the cord of my bow, and put me to shame; he has sent down my flag to the earth before me.
The lines of his men of war put themselves in order, and make high their ways of destruction against me:
They have made waste my roads, with a view to my destruction; his bowmen come round about me;
As through a wide broken place in the wall they come on, I am overturned by the shock of their attack.
Fears have come on me; my hope is gone like the wind, and my well-being like a cloud.
