²⁹ I have become a brother to ·wild dogs [jackals]
    and a friend to ·ostriches [or eagle owls; ^Canimals that live in the desolate wilderness].
³⁰ My skin has become black and peels off,
    as my ·body [^Lbones] burns with ·fever [heat].
³¹ My ·harp [lyre] is tuned to sing a sad song,
    and my ·flute [reed pipe] is tuned to moaning.
