Job 30:20-26

Expanded Bible

²⁰ “I cry out to you, God, but you do not answer;
    I stand up, but you just look at me.
²¹ You have turned on me ·without mercy [with cruelty];
    with your powerful hand you ·attacked [^Lhate] me.
²² You snatched me up and ·threw me into [^Lmade me ride] the wind
    and ·tossed me about [made me reel] in the storm.
²³ I know you will bring me down to death,
    to the ·place where all living people must go [^Lhouse appointed for all the living].

²⁴ “Surely no one would hurt [or Should not one send his hand out to help…?] those who are ruined
    when they cry for help in their time of trouble.
²⁵ ·I cried [^LDo I not cry…?] for those ·who were in trouble [whose day was hard];
    ·I have been very sad [^Ldon’t I have pity…?] for ·poor [needy] people.
²⁶ But when I hoped for ·good [or the best], only ·evil [or the worst] came to me;
    when I ·looked [waited] for light, darkness came.
