Job 30:24-31

CEB

NIV

24 Surely he won't strike someone in ruins if in distress he cries out to him,
24 “Surely no one lays a hand on a broken man when he cries for help in his distress.
25 if I didn't weep for those who have a difficult day or my soul grieve for the needy;
25 Have I not wept for those in trouble? Has not my soul grieved for the poor?
26 for I awaited good, but evil came; I expected light, but gloom arrived.
26 Yet when I hoped for good, evil came; when I looked for light, then came darkness.
27 My insides, churning, are never quiet; days of affliction confront me.
27 The churning inside me never stops; days of suffering confront me.
28 I walk in the dark, lacking sunshine; I rise in the assembly and cry out.
28 I go about blackened, but not by the sun; I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.
29 I have become a brother to jackals, a companion to young ostriches.
29 I have become a brother of jackals, a companion of owls.
30 My skin is charred; my bones are scorched by the heat.
30 My skin grows black and peels; my body burns with fever.
31 My lyre is for mourning, my flute, a weeping sound.
31 My lyre is tuned to mourning, and my pipe to the sound of wailing.
