Job 30:22

20 I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer; when I stand up, You merely look at me.

21 You have ruthlessly turned on me; You oppose me with Your strong hand.

You snatch me up into the wind and drive me before it; You toss me about in the storm.

23 Yes, I know that You will bring me down to death, to the place appointed for all the living.

24 Yet no one stretches out his hand to a ruined man when he cries for help in his distress.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
