Job 30:1-31

30:1-15 | Turning from wistful reflection of an exalted past, Job laments his present status. He is so low that he is mocked by the children from the lowest rung of society and disrespected by outcasts.

30:16-31 | As Job proceeded to blame God, he claimed to be the victim of a divine mugging. His health was gone, and he had been cast aside (Ps. 22:14).

30:30 | Job described his skin as black, likely indicating that his skin was dark and peeling. He felt abandoned by God and hopeless, and his physical condition amplified this perception (Ps. 102:3; Lam. 4:8).
