"Truly, then, you do not extend your hand in order to consume them, and if they fall down, you will save them. "
— Job 30:24, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.”
“ Howbeit doth not one stretch out the hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help? ”
“"However doesn't one stretch out a hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?”
“The Contrast With the Past“Surely one does not stretch out his hand against a broken man when he cries for help in his distress.”
“But yet thou stretchest not forth thy hand to their consumption: and if they shall fall down thou wilt save.”
“Has not my hand been stretched out in help to the poor? have I not been a saviour to him in his trouble?”
“Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.”
You have changed me into hardness, and, with the hardness of your hand, you oppose me.
You have lifted me up, and, placing me as if on the wind, you have thrown me down powerfully.
I know that you will hand me over to death, where a home has been established for all the living.
Truly, then, you do not extend your hand in order to consume them, and if they fall down, you will save them.
Once, I wept over him who was afflicted, and my soul had compassion on the poor.
I expected good things, but evil things have come to me. I stood ready for light, yet darkness burst forth.
My insides have seethed, without any rest, for the days of affliction have prevented it.
