    Job 30:1-31 Job’s Wealth Now Poverty

    Job 30:24-31
    24
    “Surely He would not stretch out His hand against a heap of ruins,
    If they cry out when He destroys it.
    25
    Have I not wept for him who was in trouble?
    Has not my soul grieved for the poor?
    26
    But when I looked for good, evil came to me;
    And when I waited for light, then came darkness.

    27
    [f]My heart is in turmoil and cannot rest;
    Days of affliction confront me.
    28
    I go about mourning, but not in the sun;
    I stand up in the assembly and cry out for help.
    29
    I am a brother of jackals,
    And a companion of ostriches.
    30
    My skin grows black and falls from me;
    My bones burn with fever.
    31
    My harp is turned to mourning,
    And my flute to the voice of those who weep.
