Job 19:13-19 13. He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. 14. My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. 15. They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. 16. I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth. 17. My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body. 18. Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me. 19. All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
2 Kings 2:23 ¶And he went up from thence unto Beth-el: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
Isaiah 3:5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

Job 24:4-8 4. They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together. 5. Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children. 6. They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked. 7. They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold. 8. They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
c:
Job 30:2-8 2. Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished? 3. For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste. 4. Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat. 5. They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;) 6. To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks. 7. Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together. 8. They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
Titus 1:12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
