Job 30:16-23
New International Version
16 “And now my life ebbs away;(A)
days of suffering grip me.(B)
17 Night pierces my bones;
my gnawing pains never rest.(C)
18 In his great power(D) God becomes like clothing to me[a];
he binds me like the neck of my garment.
19 He throws me into the mud,(E)
and I am reduced to dust and ashes.(F)
20 “I cry out to you,(G) God, but you do not answer;(H)
I stand up, but you merely look at me.
21 You turn on me ruthlessly;(I)
with the might of your hand(J) you attack me.(K)
22 You snatch me up and drive me before the wind;(L)
you toss me about in the storm.(M)
23 I know you will bring me down to death,(N)
to the place appointed for all the living.(O)

Job 30:16-23
King James Version
16 And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
17 My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.
18 By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
19 He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.
20 I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.
21 Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.
22 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.
23 For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
