Job 30:26–27

26 Yet when I hoped for good, evil came;

when I looked for light, then came darkness.

27 The churning inside me never stops;

days of suffering confront me.

26 But when I hoped for good, evil came,

and when I waited for light, darkness came.

27 My inward parts are in turmoil and never still;

days of affliction come to meet me.

26 When I looked for good, then evil came unto me:

And when I waited for light, there came darkness.

27 My bowels boiled, and rested not:

The days of affliction prevented me.

26 So I looked for good, but evil came instead.

I waited for the light, but darkness fell.

27 My heart is troubled and restless.

Days of suffering torment me.

26 But when I hoped for good, only evil came to me;

when I looked for light, darkness came.

27 I never stop being upset;

days of suffering are ahead of me.

26 When I looked for good, then evil came;

And when I waited for light, there came darkness.

27 My heart is troubled, and resteth not;

Days of affliction are come upon me.

26 For I expected good, and there came evil; and I waited for light, but there came darkness. 27 My bowels well up, and rest not; days of affliction have confronted me.

26 When I waited for good, evil came. 

When I looked for light, darkness came. 

27 My insides are churning and won’t calm down. 

Days of misery are ahead of me. 

26 But when I hoped for good, evil came;

when I looked for light, darkness came.

27 I am churning within and cannot rest;

days of suffering confront me.

26 But when I looked for good, evil came,

and when I waited for light, darkness came.

27 My inward parts are in turmoil and are never still;

days of affliction come to meet me.

26 Indeed, I hoped for good, but evil came,

and I waited for light, but darkness came.

27 My bowels are in turmoil, and they are not still;

days of misery come to confront me.

26 I hoped good things would happen, but something evil came.

I looked for light, but all I saw was darkness.

27 My insides are always churning.

Nothing but days of suffering are ahead of me.

26 “When I expected good, then evil came;

When I waited for light, then darkness came.

27 “I am seething within and cannot relax;

Days of affliction confront me.
