Job 30:26-31

26 But ^awhen I hoped for good, evil came,
and when I waited for light, ^bdarkness came.
27 My inward parts are in turmoil and never still;
days of affliction ^ccome to meet me.
28 I ^dgo about darkened, but not by the sun;
I stand up in ^ethe assembly and cry for help.
29 I am a brother of ^fjackals
and a companion of ^gostriches.
30 My ^hskin turns black and falls from me,
and my ⁱbones burn with heat.
31 My ^jlyre is ^kturned to mourning,
and my ^lpipe to the voice of those who weep.
