Job 30:14-24

14 They move in as through a wide gap; amid the ruin they roll on in waves.
15 Terrors tumble over me, chasing my honor away like the wind; my [hope of] salvation passes like a cloud.
16 "So now my life is ebbing away, days of grief have seized me.
17 At night pain pierces me to the bone, so that I never rest.
18 My clothes are disfigured by the force [of my disease]; they choke me like the collar of my coat.
19 [God] has thrown me into the mud; I have become like dust and ashes.
20 "I call out to you [God], but you don't answer me; I stand up to plead, but you just look at me.
21 You have turned cruelly against me; with your powerful hand you keep persecuting me.
22 You snatch me up on the wind and make me ride it; you toss me about in the tempest.
23 For I know that you will bring me to death, the house assigned to everyone living.
24 "Surely [God] wouldn't strike at a ruin, if in one's calamity one cried out to him for help.
