Job 30:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ He has cast me into the mire,
    and I am covered with dust and ashes.
²⁰ “I cry out to you, O God, but you do not answer me;
    I stand before you, but you barely take notice.
²¹ You have turned with severity against me;
    with your strong hand you persecute me.
