Job 30:24-31 - Job Says: I Am Being Punished By God
24 "Surely he won't stretch his hand against the needy, will he, especially if they cry to him in their calamity? 25 Haven't I wept for the one who is going through hard times? Haven't I grieved for the needy? 26 I have hoped for good, but evil came instead; I have hoped for light, but darkness came. 27 I'm boiling mad inside, and I won't remain silent; the time for my affliction to confront me has arrived. 28 "In growing darkness, I walked without sunlight; I stood in the congregation to cry for help. 29 I've become a brother to jackals, and a friend to ostriches. 30 My skin turns black all over me; and my bones seem burned from the heat. 31 But my harp is in mourning; my flute plays only songs for those who are weeping."
