Job 30:16-23

Accusation against God

16 Now my life is poured out on me; days of misery have seized me.
17 At night he bores my bones; my gnawing pain won't rest.
18 With great force he grasps my clothing; it binds me like the neck of my shirt.
19 He hurls me into mud; I'm a cliché, like dust and ashes.
20 I cry to you, and you don't answer; I stand up, but you just look at me.
21 You are cruel to me, attack me with the strength of your hand.
22 You lift me to the wind and make me ride; you melt me in its roar.
23 I know you will return me to death, the house appointed for all the living.
