Job 30 — Context

When I looked for good, then evil came to me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.

My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.

I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.

I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.

My skin is black on me, and my bones are burned with heat.

My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
