New Testament

Job 30:22-30 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

22. You pick me up and blow me away with the wind. You toss me around in the storm.

23. I know that you will bring me down to death. That's what you have appointed for everyone.

24. "No one would crush people when they cry out for help in their trouble.

25. Haven't I sobbed over those who are in trouble? Haven't I felt sorry for poor people?

26. I hoped good things would happen, but something evil came. I looked for light, but all I saw was darkness.

27. My insides are always churning. Nothing but days of suffering are ahead of me.

28. My skin has become dark, but the sun didn't do it. I stand up in the community and cry out for help.

29. I've become a brother to wild dogs. Owls are my companions.

30. My skin grows black and peels. My body burns with fever.
