Job 30:26-28

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁶ But when I hoped for good things to happen,
    trouble came instead.
When I looked for light to shine on me,
    everything became dark.
²⁷ I hurt inside me all the time.
    Every day I suffer from pain.
²⁸ Illness has caused my skin to become black.
    It is not the sun that has made that happen.
I stand up in the public meeting place
    and I call aloud for help.
