Job 30:27-31
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
27 My inward parts are in turmoil and are never still;
days of affliction come to meet me.
28 I go about in sunless gloom;
I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.(A)
29 I am a brother of jackals
and a companion of ostriches.(B)
30 My skin turns black and falls from me,
and my bones burn with heat.(C)
31 My lyre is turned to mourning
and my pipe to the voice of those who weep.(D)
