Job 30:20-26
New Living Translation
20 “I cry to you, O God, but you don’t answer.
I stand before you, but you don’t even look.
21 You have become cruel toward me.
You use your power to persecute me.
22 You throw me into the whirlwind
and destroy me in the storm.
23 And I know you are sending me to my death—
the destination of all who live.
24 “Surely no one would turn against the needy
when they cry for help in their trouble.
25 Did I not weep for those in trouble?
Was I not deeply grieved for the needy?
26 So I looked for good, but evil came instead.
I waited for the light, but darkness fell.
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.
