Job 30:18-20

The Voice

¹⁸     With great force, God wraps around me like my clothing.
        He binds tightly about my neck as if He were the collar of my tunic.^[a]
19     He has pushed me off into the mud,
        and I am reduced from man to dust and ashes.
²⁰     I call out to You, God, but You refuse to answer me.
        When I arise, You merely examine me.
