Job 30:29

²⁷ I am churning within and cannot rest; days of affliction confront me.

²⁸ I go about blackened, but not by the sun. I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.

I have become a brother of jackals, a companion of ostriches.

³⁰ My skin grows black and peels, and my bones burn with fever.

³¹ My harp is tuned to mourning and my flute to the sound of weeping.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
