Job 30:20-26

Legacy Standard Bible

²⁰ I ^(A)cry out to You for help, but You do not answer me;
I stand up, and You carefully consider how to be against me.
²¹ You have ^[a]become cruel to me;
With the might of Your hand You ^(B)hunted me down.
²² You ^(C)lift me up to the wind and cause me to ride;
And You melt me away in a storm.
²³ For I know that You ^(D)will bring me to death
And to the ^(E)house of meeting for all living.

²⁴ “Yet does not one in a heap of ruins stretch out his hand,
Or, in his upheaval, is there a ^(F)cry for help because of them?
²⁵ Have I not ^(G)wept for the ^[b]one whose life is hard?
Was not my soul grieved for ^(H)the needy?
²⁶ When I ^(I)hoped for good, then evil came;
When I waited for light, ^(J)then thick darkness came.
