Job 30:27–30

27 The churning inside me never stops;

days of suffering confront me.

28 I go about blackened, but not by the sun;

I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.

29 I have become a brother of jackals,

a companion of owls.

30 My skin grows black and peels;

my body burns with fever.

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 jackals

and a companion of ostriches.

30 My skin turns black and falls from me,

and my bones burn with heat.

27 My heart is troubled and restless.

Days of suffering torment me.

28 I walk in gloom, without sunlight.

I stand in the public square and cry for help.

29 Instead, I am considered a brother to jackals

and a companion to owls.

30 My skin has turned dark,

and my bones burn with fever.

27 My heart is in turmoil and cannot rest;

Days of affliction confront me.

28 I go about mourning, but not in the sun;

I stand up in the assembly and cry out for help.

29 I am a brother of jackals,

And a companion of ostriches.

30 My skin grows black and falls from me;

My bones burn with fever.

27 I never stop being upset;

days of suffering are ahead of me.

28 I have turned black, but not by the sun.

I stand up in public and cry for help.

29 I have become a brother to wild dogs

and a friend to ostriches.

30 My skin has become black and peels off,

as my body burns with fever.

27 My heart is troubled, and resteth not;

Days of affliction are come upon me.

28 I go mourning without the sun:

I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.

29 I am a brother to jackals,

And a companion to ostriches.

30 My skin is black, and falleth from me,

And my bones are burned with heat.

27 My bowels well up, and rest not; days of affliction have confronted me. 28 I go about blackened, but not by the sun; I stand up, I cry in the congregation. 29 I am become a brother to jackals, and a companion of ostriches. 30 My skin is become black and falleth off me, and my bones are parched with heat.

27 My insides are churning and won’t calm down. 

Days of misery are ahead of me. 

28 I walk in the dark without the sun. 

I stand up in public and call for help. 

29 I’m a brother to jackals 

and a companion of ostriches. 

30 My skin turns dark and peels. 

My body burns with fever. 

27 I am churning within and cannot rest;

days of suffering confront me.

28 I walk about blackened, but not by the sun.

I stood in the assembly and cried out for help.

29 I have become a brother to jackals

and a companion of ostriches.

30 My skin blackens and flakes off,

and my bones burn with fever.

27 My inward parts are in turmoil and are never still;

days of affliction come to meet me.

28 I go about in sunless gloom;

I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.

29 I am a brother of jackals

and a companion of ostriches.

30 My skin turns black and falls from me,

and my bones burn with heat.

27 My bowels are in turmoil, and they are not still;

days of misery come to confront me.

28 I go about in mourning garb, but not in sunlight;

I stand up in the assembly, and I cry for help.

29 I am a companion for the jackals

and a companion for ostriches.

30 My skin turns black on me,

and my bones burn with heat.

27 My insides are always churning.

Nothing but days of suffering are ahead of me.

28 My skin has become dark, but the sun didn’t do it.

I stand up in the community and cry out for help.

29 I’ve become a brother to wild dogs.

Owls are my companions.

30 My skin grows black and peels.

My body burns with fever.

27 “I am seething within and cannot relax;

Days of affliction confront me.

28 “I go about mourning without comfort;

I stand up in the assembly and cry out for help.

29 “I have become a brother to jackals

And a companion of ostriches.

30 “My skin turns black on me,

And my bones burn with fever.
