Job 30:26
Job 30:26 New Living Translation (NLT)
So I looked for good, but evil came instead. I waited for the light, but darkness fell.
Job 30:24-31 The Message (MSG)
“What did I do to deserve this? Did I ever hit anyone who was calling for help? Haven’t I wept for those who live a hard life, been heartsick over the lot of the poor? But where did it get me? I expected good but evil showed up. I looked for light but darkness fell. My stomach’s in a constant churning, never settles down. Each day confronts me with more suffering. I walk under a black cloud. The sun is gone. I stand in the congregation and protest. I howl with the jackals, I hoot with the owls. I’m black-and-blue all over, burning up with fever. My fiddle plays nothing but the blues; my mouth harp wails laments.”
Job 30:26 King James Version (KJV)
When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: And when I waited for light, there came darkness.
Job 30:26 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
When I expected good, then evil came; When I waited for light, then darkness came.

But when I hoped for good, only evil came to me; when I looked for light, darkness came.

Yet when I hoped for good, evil came; when I looked for light, then came darkness.

But when I looked for good, evil came to me; And when I waited for light, then came darkness.
