Job 30:24-26

New Century Version

²⁴ “Surely no one would hurt those who are ruined
    when they cry for help in their time of trouble.
²⁵ I cried for those who were in trouble;
    I have 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.
