Job 30:15-31

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Job 30:15-31

15Terrors are turned loose against me;
they drive away my dignity as by the wind,
and my prosperity has passed like a cloud.
16And now my soul is poured out within me;
days of affliction grip me.
17Night pierces my bones,
and my gnawing pains never rest.
18With great force He grasps my garment;
He seizes me by the collar of my tunic.
19He throws me into the mud,
and I have become like dust and ashes.
20I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer;
when I stand up, You merely look at me.
21You have ruthlessly turned on me;
You oppose me with Your strong hand.
22You snatch me up into the wind
and drive me before it;
You toss me about in the storm.
23Yes, I know that You will bring me down to death,
to the place appointed for all the living.
24Yet no one stretches out his hand to a ruined man
when he cries for help in his distress.
25Have I not wept for those in trouble?
Has my soul not grieved for the needy?
26But when I hoped for good, evil came;
when I looked for light, darkness fell.
27I am churning within and cannot rest;
days of affliction confront me.
28I go about blackened, but not by the sun.
I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.
29I have become a brother of jackals,
a companion of ostriches.
30My skin grows black and peels,
and my bones burn with fever.
31My harp is tuned to mourning
and my flute to the sound of weeping.
