Job 30:26-29

Living Bible

²⁶ I therefore looked for good to come. Evil came instead. I waited for the light. Darkness came. ²⁷ My heart is troubled and restless. Waves of affliction have come upon me. ^28-29 I am black but not from sunburn. I stand up and cry to the assembly for help. But I might as well save my breath,^[a] for I am considered a brother to jackals and a companion to ostriches.
