Bible verse
I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer; when I stand up, You merely look at me.
Job 30:20 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 30.
16 And now my soul is poured out within me; days of affliction grip me.
17 Night pierces my bones, and my gnawing pains never rest.
18 With great force He grasps my garment; He seizes me by the collar of my tunic.
19 He throws me into the mud, and I have become like dust and ashes.
20 I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer; when I stand up, You merely look at me.
21 You have ruthlessly turned on me; You oppose me with Your strong hand.
22 You snatch me up into the wind and drive me before it; You toss me about in the storm.
23 Yes, I know that You will bring me down to death, to the place appointed for all the living.
24 Yet no one stretches out his hand to a ruined man when he cries for help in his distress.
