Job 30:26-28

Expanded Bible

²⁶ But when I hoped for ·good [or the best], only ·evil [or the worst] came to me;
    when I ·looked [waited] for light, darkness came.
²⁷ ·I never stop being upset [^LMy insides are brought to a boil and not stilled];
    days of ·suffering [affliction] are ahead of me.
²⁸ ·I have turned black, but not by the sun [or I walk around mourning, without passion].
    I stand up in public and cry for help.
