Job 30:25

Job Says: I Am Being Punished By God

²⁴ However does not a man stretch out the hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help? ²⁵ Did I not weep for him who was in trouble? Was not my soul grieved for the needy? ²⁶ When I looked for good, then evil came. And when I waited for light, there came darkness.
