²⁴ “Surely no one would hurt [or Should not one send his hand out to help…?] those who are ruined
    when they cry for help in their time of trouble.
²⁵ ·I cried [^LDo I not cry…?] for those ·who were in trouble [whose day was hard];
    ·I have been very sad [^Ldon’t I have pity…?] for ·poor [needy] people.
²⁶ But when I hoped for ·good [or the best], only ·evil [or the worst] came to me;
    when I ·looked [waited] for light, darkness came.
