Holy Scripture
Job 30:1
A church father on this verse
“"But now they make sport of me, those who are younger than I." These words testify to the authority, power and grace that, as he has asserted, he used to own in his previous days. The more favorable his state of former happiness had been, the more bitter now it makes his feeling of pain after turning into misfortune."…”

1But now the youngest have laughed me to scorn, Now they reprove me in their turn, Whose fathers I set at nought; Whom I did not deem worthy to be with my shepherd dogs.
