1 “But now they laugh at me,

men who are younger than I,

whose fathers I would have disdained

to set with the dogs of my flock.

1 But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, Whose fathers I would have disdained To have set with the dogs of my flock.

1 “But now I am mocked by people younger than I,

by young men whose fathers are not worthy to run with my sheepdogs.

1 “But now they mock at me, men younger than I,

Whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock.

1 “But now those who are younger than I

make fun of me.

I would not have even let their fathers

sit with my sheep dogs.

1 But now they that are younger than I have me in derision,

Whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.

1 But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.

1 “But now those who are younger than I am laugh at me. 

I didn’t think their fathers were fit to sit with the dogs of my flock. 

1 But now they mock me,

men younger than I am,

whose fathers I would have refused to put

with my sheep dogs.

1 “But now they make sport of me,

those who are younger than I,

whose fathers I would have disdained

to set with the dogs of my flock.

1 “But now those younger than I, as far as days, laugh at me,

whose fathers I rejected for setting with the dogs of my sheep and goats.

1 “But now those who are younger than I am make fun of me.

I wouldn’t put even their parents with my sheep dogs!

1 “But now those younger than I mock me,

Whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock.
