27 My bowels boiled, and rested not:
the days of affliction prevented me.
28 I went mourning without the sun:
I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.
29 I am a brother to dragons,
and a companion to owls.
30 My skin is black upon me,
and my bones are burned with heat.
31 My harp also is turned to mourning,
and my organ into the voice of them that weep.

27 [a]My heart is in turmoil and cannot rest;
Days of affliction confront me.
28 (A)I go about mourning, but not in the sun;

29 (B)I am a brother of jackals,
And a companion of ostriches.
30 (C)My skin grows black and falls from me;
(D)My bones burn with fever.
31 My harp is turned to mourning,
And my flute to the voice of those who weep.
