Job 30:20-26
New International Version
20 “I cry out to you,(A) God, but you do not answer;(B)
I stand up, but you merely look at me.
21 You turn on me ruthlessly;(C)
with the might of your hand(D) you attack me.(E)
22 You snatch me up and drive me before the wind;(F)
you toss me about in the storm.(G)
23 I know you will bring me down to death,(H)
to the place appointed for all the living.(I)
Job 30:20-26
International Standard Version
20 I cry for help to you,
but you won’t answer me;
I stand still,
but you only look at me.
21 You changed toward me, and now you’re cruel to me;
with your mighty hand you are persecuting me;
22 you carried me off in a wind storm,
making me ride on it
while you toss me about as the storm roars around me.
23 I know that you’re about to kill me,
so I’m about to go to the house that’s appointed for all the living.”
Job Lists His Hopes Despite His Deplorable Condition
24 “Surely he won’t stretch his hand against the needy, will he,
especially if they cry to him in their calamity?
25 Haven’t I wept for the one who is going through hard times?
Haven’t I grieved for the needy?
26 I have hoped for good, but evil came instead;
I have hoped for light, but darkness came.
