Job 30:20-26
Evangelical Heritage Version

20 I cry to you for help, but you do not answer me.
Whenever I stand up, you pay no attention to me.[a]
21 You have become cruel to me.
With a strong hand you assault me.
22 You lift me up with the wind, and it carries me away.
You scatter me in the raging storm.
23 Yes, I know that you are bringing me down to death,
to the home where all the living meet.

24 Will he really stretch out his hand against a pile of ruins,
when the ruined man screams for help?[b]
25 Didn’t I weep for those who live through hard days?
Didn’t my soul grieve for the needy?
26 But when I waited for good, evil came.
When I hoped for light, darkness came.
