Job 30:15-31
New International Version
15 Terrors(A) overwhelm me;(B)
my dignity is driven away as by the wind,
my safety vanishes like a cloud.(C)
16 “And now my life ebbs away;(D)
days of suffering grip me.(E)
17 Night pierces my bones;
my gnawing pains never rest.(F)
18 In his great power(G) God becomes like clothing to me[a];
he binds me like the neck of my garment.
19 He throws me into the mud,(H)
and I am reduced to dust and ashes.(I)
20 “I cry out to you,(J) God, but you do not answer;(K)
I stand up, but you merely look at me.
21 You turn on me ruthlessly;(L)
with the might of your hand(M) you attack me.(N)
22 You snatch me up and drive me before the wind;(O)
you toss me about in the storm.(P)
23 I know you will bring me down to death,(Q)
to the place appointed for all the living.(R)
24 “Surely no one lays a hand on a broken man(S)
when he cries for help in his distress.(T)
25 Have I not wept for those in trouble?(U)
Has not my soul grieved for the poor?(V)
26 Yet when I hoped for good, evil came;
when I looked for light, then came darkness.(W)
27 The churning inside me never stops;(X)
days of suffering confront me.(Y)
28 I go about blackened,(Z) but not by the sun;
I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.(AA)
29 I have become a brother of jackals,(AB)
a companion of owls.(AC)
30 My skin grows black(AD) and peels;(AE)
my body burns with fever.(AF)
31 My lyre is tuned to mourning,(AG)
and my pipe(AH) to the sound of wailing.
