Job 30:20-26 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

20. “I cry out to you, God, but you do not answer.I stand up, but you just look at me.

21. You turn on me without mercy.You attack me with your powerful hand.

22. You snatch me up and throw me into the wind.You toss me about in the storm.

23. I know you will bring me down to death.You will bring me to the place where all living people must go.

24. “Surely no one would hurt a ruined manwhen he cries for help in his time of trouble.

25. I have cried for those who are in trouble.My soul has been very sad for poor people.

26. But when I hoped for good, only evil came to me.When I looked for light, darkness came.
