Job 30:24-31

24“However, does not one falling in a heap of ruins stretch out his hand? Or in his disaster [will he not] therefore cry out for help?

25Did I not weep for one whose life was hard and filled with trouble? Was not my heart grieved for the needy?

26When I expected good, then came evil [to me]; And when I waited for light, then came darkness.

27I am seething within and my heart is troubled and cannot rest; Days of affliction come to meet me.

28I go about mourning without comfort [my skin blackened by disease, not by the heat of the sun]; I stand up in the assembly and cry out for help.

29I am a brother to [howling] jackals, And a companion to ostriches [which scream dismally].

30My skin falls from me in blackened flakes, And my bones are burned with fever.

31Therefore my lyre (harp) is used for [the sound of] mourning, And my flute for the [sound of the] voices of those who weep.
