Job 30:16-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ “Now my life is slipping away.
    Days of suffering grab hold of me.
¹⁷ At night my bones hurt.
    My aches and pains never stop.
¹⁸ God’s great power becomes like clothes to me.
    He chokes me like the neck of my shirt.
¹⁹ He throws me down into the mud.
    I’m nothing but dust and ashes.
