Job 30:23-28 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

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.

27. I never stop being upset inside.Days of suffering are ahead of me.

28. I have become black, but not by the sun.I stand up in public and cry for help.
