Context of Job 30:23
21You have turned on me cruelly; You attack me with the might of Your hand. 22You lift me up on the wind and make me ride on it; You toss me about in the storm. For I know that you will bring me to death, to the house appointed for all the living. 24Yet does not one in a heap of ruins stretch out His hand, and in his distress cry for help? 25Have I not wept for the unfortunate? Was not my soul grieved for the poor?
