Job 30 — Context

14

As through a wide broken place in the wall they come on, I am overturned by the shock of their attack.

15

Fears have come on me; my hope is gone like the wind, and my well-being like a cloud.

16

But now my soul is turned to water in me, days of trouble overtake me:

17

The flesh is gone from my bones, and they give me no rest; there is no end to my pains.

18

With great force he takes a grip of my clothing, pulling me by the neck of my coat.

19

Truly God has made me low, even to the earth, and I have become like dust.

20

You give no answer to my cry, and take no note of my prayer.
