Job 30:20-26

Amplified Bible

²⁰ 
“I cry to You for help, [Lord,] but You do not answer me;
I stand up, but You [only] gaze [indifferently] at me.
²¹ 
“You have become harsh and cruel to me;
With the might of Your hand You [keep me alive only to] persecute me.
²² 
“You lift me up on the wind and cause me to ride [upon it];
And You toss me about in the tempest and dissolve me in the storm.
²³ 
“For I know that You will bring me to death
And to the house of meeting [appointed] for all the living.

²⁴ 
“However, does not one falling in a heap of ruins stretch out his hand?
Or in his disaster [will he not] therefore cry out for help?
²⁵ 
“Did I not weep for one whose life was hard and filled with trouble?
Was not my heart grieved for the needy?
²⁶ 
“When I expected good, then came evil [to me];
And when I waited for light, then came darkness.
