Job 30:24-31 - Job Says: I Am Being Punished By God

24 But prayer is nothing; he will send forth the hand, if in his calamity to them a cry for help. 25 If I wept not for him being hard of day: my soul was grieved for the needy. 26 For I hoped for good and evil will come: and I shall wait for light and darkness will come. 27 My bowels boiled, and were not silent: the days of affliction anticipated me. 28 I went darkened without warmth: I rose up, I shall cry in the convocation. 29 I was a brother to jackals, and a companion to the daughters of the ostrich. 30 My skin was black from above me, and my bones burnt from heat 31 And my harp will be for mourning, and my pipe for the voice of those weeping.
