Bible verse
Yet no one stretches out his hand to a ruined man when he cries for help in his distress.
Job 30:24 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 30.
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.
25 Have I not wept for those in trouble? Has my soul not grieved for the needy?
26 But when I hoped for good, evil came; when I looked for light, darkness fell.
27 I am churning within and cannot rest; days of affliction confront me.
28 I go about blackened, but not by the sun. I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.
KJV

ASV
Howbeit doth not one stretch out the hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?

Surely against a ruinous heap he will not put forth his hand; though it be in his destruction, one may utter a cry because of these things.
