Job 30:25

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? i.e. do I claim a sympathy which I do not deserve? When men wept and entreated me, did not I do my best to give them the aid which they requested? Did not I weep for them, and intercede with God for them?

Was not my soul grieved for the poor? (comp. Job 29:12-17; Job 31:16-22).
