¹⁷ At night my bones ache.
    Gnawing pains never stop.
¹⁸ In his great power God grabs hold of my clothing.
    He chokes me with the collar of my coat.
¹⁹ He throws me into the mud.
    And I become like dirt and ashes.

²⁹ It is as if I have become a brother to wild dogs
    and a friend to ostriches.

³⁰ My skin becomes black and peels off.
    My body burns with fever.
