Job 30:25-27
New English Translation
25 Have I not wept for the unfortunate?[a]
Was not my soul grieved for the poor?
26 But when I hoped for good, trouble came;
when I expected light, then darkness came.
27 My heart[b] is in turmoil[c] unceasingly;[d]
the days of my affliction confront me.
Footnotes
- Job 30:25 tn Heb “for the hard of day.”
- Job 30:27 tn Heb “my loins,” “my bowels” (archaic), “my innermost being.” The last option is reflected in the translation; some translations take the inner turmoil to be literal (NIV “The churning inside me never stops”).
- Job 30:27 tn Heb “boils.”
- Job 30:27 tn The last clause reads “and they [it] are not quiet” or “do not cease.” The clause then serves adverbially for the sentence—“unceasingly.”
