Job 30:14-16
New Catholic Bible
14 They burst forward through a gaping breach
and advance in waves.
15 Terrors surround me on all sides;
my confidence disintegrates,
and my hope of deliverance vanishes like a cloud.

16 “And now my life has begun to ebb away;
my days are filled with grief and affliction.
