Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 30 of Job. Job returns to physical pain and states that his body and life are wasting away. He describes God as the one to whom he cries without receiving an answer, using images of wind and destruction. The lament preserves the book’s fundamental tension: Job continues speaking to God even though he feels that God remains silent before his request.
