Was not my soul grieved for the poor? 26Yet, when I hoped for good, evil came; when I waited for light, then darkness came. “My heart seethes and never stops; days of suffering confront me. 28I walk about blackened, but not by the sun; I stand in the assembly and cry for help. 29I have become a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches.
