Job 30:26 DBY

²⁴  Indeed, no prayer [availeth] when he stretcheth out [his] hand: though they cry when he destroyeth.

²⁵  Did not I weep for him whose days were hard? was not my soul grieved for the needy?

²⁶  For I expected good, and there came evil; and I waited for light, but there came darkness.

²⁷  My bowels well up, and rest not; days of affliction have confronted me.

²⁸  I go about blackened, but not by the sun; I stand up, I cry in the congregation.
