Context of Job 30:23
21You have become cruel to me; With the might of Your hand You persecute me. 22You lift me up to the wind and cause me to ride; And You dissolve me in a storm. For I know that You will bring me to death And to the house of meeting for all living. 24“Yet does not one in a heap of ruins stretch out his hand, Or in his disaster therefore cry out for help? 25Have I not wept for the one whose life is hard? Was not my soul grieved for the needy?
