Of what use is the strength of their hands to me, men in whom ripe age has perished?
What use to me was the strength of their hands, since their vigor had left them?
Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
Yea, the strength of their hands, whereto should it profit me? Men in whom ripe age is perished.

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.
