Job 30:29-31

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁹ I have become like the jackals and the ostriches.
    My sad voice sounds like them.
³⁰ My skin has become black,
    and bits of skin fall off.
    My body is hot with fever.^[a]
31 Now, when I make music with my harp,
    I only sing funeral songs.
When I make music with my flute,
    I do it for people who are weeping.’
