Contrast of Past Compassion and Present Misery

Job 30:25-31

Did not I weepe with him that was in trouble? was not my soule in heauinesse for the poore?

Yet when I looked for good, euill came vnto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkenesse.

My bowels did boyle without rest: for the dayes of affliction are come vpon me.

I went mourning without sunne: I stood vp in the congregation and cryed.

I am a brother to the dragons, and a companion to the ostriches.

My skinne is blacke vpon me, and my bones are burnt with heate.

Therefore mine harpe is turned to mourning, and mine organs into the voyce of them that weepe.
