Job 30:25 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 30:25

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.

27 ¹My heart is in turmoil and cannot rest;
Days of affliction confront me.
