Job 30:24-31

24“Surely no one would turn against the needy when they cry for help in their trouble.

25Did I not weep for those in trouble? Was I not deeply grieved for the needy?

26So I looked for good, but evil came instead. I waited for the light, but darkness fell.

27My heart is troubled and restless. Days of suffering torment me.

28I walk in gloom, without sunlight. I stand in the public square and cry for help.

29Instead, I am considered a brother to jackals and a companion to owls.

30My skin has turned dark, and my bones burn with fever.

31My harp plays sad music, and my flute accompanies those who weep.
