Job 30

Job laments his current humiliation as young men of low status, once unworthy of his attention, now mock, spit on, and assault him unrestrained, attributing this to YHWH loosening his cord and afflicting him.[1][2][3] He describes his physical agony with gnawing pains and blackened skin, emotional despair as his soul pours out, unanswered cries to YHWH feeling cruel opposition and inevitable death, turning his music to mourning.[4][5]
