Job 30:20-26
1599 Geneva Bible
20 When I cry unto thee, thou dost not hear me, neither regardest me, when I stand up.
21 Thou turnest thyself [a]cruelly against me, and art enemy unto me with the strength of thine hand.
22 Thou takest me up and causest me to ride upon the [b]wind, and makest my [c]strength to fail.
23 Surely I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all the living.
24 Doubtless none can stretch his hand [d]unto the grave, though they cry in his destruction.
25 Did not I weep with him that was in trouble? was not my soul in heaviness for the poor?
26 Yet when I looked for good, [e]evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
