Job 30:24-26

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁴ “Surely one does not turn against the needy,^[a]
    when in disaster they cry for help.^[b]
25 Did I not weep for those whose day was hard?
    Was not my soul grieved for the poor?
²⁶ But when I looked for good, evil came;
    and when I waited for light, darkness came.
