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