Job 30:24-26

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁴ “Yet does not one in a heap of ruins stretch out his hand,
    and in his disaster cry for help?^[a]
25 Did not I weep for him whose day was hard?
    Was not my soul grieved for the poor?
²⁶ But when I looked for good, evil came;
    and when I waited for light, darkness came.
