Job 30:24-31 - Job Says: I Am Being Punished By God
24 "Surely someone must not send a hand against [the] needy when, in his misfortune, [there is] a cry of help for them. 25 Have I not wept for {the unfortunate}, [and] grieved myself over the poor? 26 Indeed, I hoped for good, but evil came, and I waited for light, but darkness came. 27 My bowels are in turmoil, and they are not still; days of misery come to confront me. 28 I go [about] in mourning garb, [but] not in sunlight; I stand up in the assembly, [and] I cry for help. 29 I am a companion for [the] jackals and a companion for {ostriches}. 30 My skin turns black on me, and my bones burn with heat. 31 So my lyre came to be [used] for mourning, and my flute [for the] voice of [those who] weep.
