30:1 “But now they mock me, those who are younger 1 than I,
whose fathers I disdained too much 2
to put with my sheep dogs. 3
30:2 Moreover, the strength of their 4 hands –
what use was it to me?
Men whose strength 5 had perished;
3:12 All have turned away,
together they have become worthless;
there is no one who shows kindness, not even one.” 8
3:1 Therefore what advantage does the Jew have, or what is the value of circumcision?
2:10 I did not restrain myself from getting whatever I wanted; 9
I did not deny myself anything that would bring me pleasure. 10
So all my accomplishments gave me joy; 11
this was my reward for all my effort. 12
