Job 30:29-31

Living Bible

^28-29 I am black but not from sunburn. I stand up and cry to the assembly for help. But I might as well save my breath,^[a] for I am considered a brother to jackals and a companion to ostriches. ³⁰ My skin is black and peeling. My bones burn with fever. ³¹ The voice of joy and gladness has turned to mourning.
