Job 30:13-21 English Standard Version (ESV)

13. They break up my path;they promote my calamity;they need no one to help them.

14. As through a wide breach they come;amid the crash they roll on.

15. Terrors are turned upon me;my honor is pursued as by the wind,and my prosperity has passed away like a cloud.

16. “And now my soul is poured out within me;days of affliction have taken hold of me.

17. The night racks my bones,and the pain that gnaws me takes no rest.

18. With great force my garment is disfigured;it binds me about like the collar of my tunic.

19. God has cast me into the mire,and I have become like dust and ashes.

20. I cry to you for help and you do not answer me;I stand, and you only look at me.

21. You have turned cruel to me;with the might of your hand you persecute me.
