Job 30:20

English Standard Version 2016

I cry to you for help and you do not answer me; I stand, and you only look at me.

See the chapter Copy

Behold, I cry out, ‘Violence!’ but I am not answered; I call for help, but there is no justice.

But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away, for she is crying out after us.”

you have wrapped yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can pass through.

though I call and cry for help, he shuts out my prayer;

O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest.

Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?

Oh, that I had one to hear me! (Here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me!) Oh, that I had the indictment written by my adversary!

Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

Afflicted and close to death from my youth up, I suffer your terrors; I am helpless.
