In holes in the ground and among the rocks.

No one restrains them.

And my [fn]prosperity has passed away like a cloud.

Days of misery have seized me.

“At night it pierces my bones [fn]within me,

And my gnawing pains do not rest.

“By a great force my garment is distorted;

It ties me up like the collar of my coat.

Or in his disaster does he not cry out for help?

Was my soul not grieved for the needy?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:26 -

When I waited for light, darkness came.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:27 -

[fn]I am seething within and cannot rest;

Days of misery confront me.
