Job 30:24-26

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁴ “Surely no one would attack a man who is already ruined,
    when he is hurt and crying for help.
²⁵ God, you know that I cried for those who were in trouble.
    You know that I mourned for the poor.
²⁶ But when I hoped for good, trouble came instead.
    When I looked for light, darkness came.
