Job 30:24

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

“Surely one does not turn against the needy, when in disaster they cry for help.

See the chapter Copy

Even when I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I am not answered; I call aloud, but there is no justice.

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

Do not let them say to themselves, “Aha, we have our heart’s desire.” Do not let them say, “We have swallowed you up.”

So perish all your enemies, O Lord! But may your friends be like the sun as it rises in its might.” And the land had rest forty years.
