Read in context

Job 30:17–21 · Berean Standard Bible

17 Night pierces my bones, and my gnawing pains never rest.

18 With great force He grasps my garment; He seizes me by the collar of my tunic.

19 He throws me into the mud, and I have become like dust and ashes.

20 I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer; when I stand up, You merely look at me.

21 You have ruthlessly turned on me; You oppose me with Your strong hand.
