Job 30:20-26

Christian Standard Bible

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

²⁴ Yet no one would stretch out his hand
against a ruined person^[a]
when he cries out to him for help
because of his distress.^(E)
25 Have I not wept for those who have fallen on hard times?
Has my soul not grieved for the needy?^(F)
26 But when I hoped for good, evil came;
when I looked for light, darkness^(G) came.
