26. But when I hoped for good, evil came,and when I waited for light, darkness came.
27. My inward parts are in turmoil and never still;days of affliction come to meet me.
28. I go about darkened, but not by the sun;I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.
29. I am a brother of jackalsand a companion of ostriches.
30. My skin turns black and falls from me,and my bones burn with heat.
