Job 30:16-23

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁶ Now my life is poured out before me,
and days of suffering^(A) have seized me.
¹⁷ Night pierces my bones,
but my gnawing pains never rest.^(B)
18 My clothing is distorted with great force;
he chokes me by the neck of my garment.^[a]
19 He throws me into the mud,
and I have become like dust and ashes.^(C)

²⁰ I cry out to you for help, but you do not answer me;^(D)
when I stand up, you merely look at me.
²¹ You have turned against me with cruelty;
you harass^(E) me with your strong hand.
²² You lift me up on the wind and make me ride it;
you scatter me in the storm.^(F)
23 Yes, I know that you will lead me to death—
the place^(G) appointed for all who live.
