Job 30:26

Job Says: I Am Being Punished By God

²⁵ Have I not wept for those who have fallen on hard times?
Has my soul not grieved for the needy?
²⁶ But when I hoped for good, evil came;
when I looked for light, darkness came.
²⁷ I am churning within and cannot rest;
days of suffering confront me.

but there was only terror.
