Job 30:25

Job Says: I Am Being Punished By God

²⁴ Indeed, no prayer availeth when he stretcheth out his hand: though they cry when he destroyeth. ²⁵ Did not I weep for him whose days were hard? was not my soul grieved for the needy? ²⁶ For I expected good, and there came evil; and I waited for light, but there came darkness.
