Text -- Job 30:25-31 (NET)
![](images/arrow_open.gif)
Strongs On/Off
Context
30:25 Have I not wept for the unfortunate ? Was not my soul grieved for the poor ?
30:26 But when I hoped for good , trouble came; when I expected light , then darkness came .
30:27 My heart is in turmoil unceasingly ; the days of my affliction confront me.
30:28 I go about blackened , but not by the sun ; in the assembly I stand up and cry for help .
30:29 I have become a brother to jackals and a companion of ostriches .
30:30 My skin has turned dark on me; my body is hot with fever .
30:31 My harp is used for mourning and my flute for the sound of weeping .
