Context of Job 30:27
25When other people were in trouble, I wept for them. When I saw poor people it made me very upset. 26But when I hoped for good things to happen, trouble came instead. When I looked for light to shine on me, everything became dark. I hurt inside me all the time. Every day I suffer from pain. 28Illness has caused my skin to become black. It is not the sun that has made that happen. I stand up in the public meeting place and I call aloud for help. 29I have become like the jackals and the ostriches. My sad voice sounds like them.
