Job 30:16-23

View Full Chapter

16“And now my life ebbs away; days of suffering grip me.

17Night pierces my bones; my gnawing pains never rest.

18In his great power God becomes like clothing to me Hebrew; Septuagint power he grasps my clothing ; he binds me like the neck of my garment.

19He throws me into the mud, and I am reduced to dust and ashes.

20“I cry out to you, God, but you do not answer; I stand up, but you merely look at me.

21You turn on me ruthlessly; with the might of your hand you attack me.

22You snatch me up and drive me before the wind; you toss me about in the storm.

23I know you will bring me down to death, to the place appointed for all the living.
