Job 30:24-26

Complete Jewish Bible

²⁴ “Surely [God] wouldn’t strike at a ruin,
if in one’s calamity one cried out to him for help.
²⁵ Didn’t I weep for those who were in trouble?
Didn’t I grieve for the needy?
²⁶ Yet when I hoped for good, what came was bad;
when I expected light, what came was darkness.
