Job 30:24
Compare all
22 You lift me up to the wind and cause me to ride on it;
You spoil my success.
23 For I know that You will bring me to death,
And to the house aappointed for all living. 
24 “Surely He would not stretch out His hand against a heap of ruins,
If they cry out when He destroys it.
25 aHave I not wept for him who was in trouble?
Has not my soul grieved for the poor? 
26 aBut when I looked for good, evil came to me;
And when I waited for light, then came darkness.
