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

Matthew Henry · Verses 1–14
Job contrasts his present condition with his former honour and authority. What little cause have men to be ambitious or proud of that which may be so easily lost, and what little confidence is to be put in it! We should not be cast down if we are despised, reviled, and hated by wicked men. We should look to Jesus, who endured the contradiction of sinners.
