Job 30:27-31

New Living Translation

²⁷My heart is troubled and restless.
    Days of suffering torment me.
²⁸I walk in gloom, without sunlight.
    I stand in the public square and cry for help.
²⁹Instead, I am considered a brother to jackals
    and a companion to owls.
³⁰My skin has turned dark,
    and my bones burn with fever.
³¹My harp plays sad music,
    and my flute accompanies those who weep.
