Job 30:2

_ _ If their fathers could be of no profit to me, much less the sons, who are feebler than their sires; and in whose case the hope of attaining old age is utterly gone, so puny are they (Job 5:26) [Maurer]. Even if they had “strength of hands,” that could be now of no use to me, as all I want in my present affliction is sympathy.
