Read in context

Job 30:23–27 · Berean Standard Bible

23 Yes, I know that You will bring me down to death, to the place appointed for all the living.

24 Yet no one stretches out his hand to a ruined man when he cries for help in his distress.

25 Have I not wept for those in trouble? Has my soul not grieved for the needy?

26 But when I hoped for good, evil came; when I looked for light, darkness fell.

27 I am churning within and cannot rest; days of affliction confront me.
